Summary Introduction
To design: An ethical and an effective experiment for testing the vaccine developed against AIDS.
Introduction:
AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. It is caused by HIV (human immune deficiency virus). It attacks the Thelper cells which are the immune cells that bring the information about the invasion of any organism in our body. They also form a memory of the attacking sites or the epitopes of the invading organism and thereby save us from the attack of various harmful organisms. HIV is a retro-virus that containsRNA as their

Nanotechnology can provide alternatives to early detection of cancer cells, drug delivery, and injectable vaccines that to this day rely on healthcare professionals to administer.
What are the benefits and cost of it?
Which do you think is more equitable in its impact? (benefit or cost) Why?
Should we conduct clinical trials on humans at all? Who should participate and is it truly possible to obtain informed consent? Should people with deadly diseases facing certain death have to wait for a clinical trial to test the efficacy of the drug if it shows to be promising in a lab? Would you consider this to be denying someone a treatment that "can't hurt" but can only help?
In the early part of this century, tropical medicine expert Dr. Richard P. Strong obtained permission from the Governor-General of the Philippines to inoculate a number of criminals with plague bacillus. The Filipino prisoners were not asked for their consent, but they were rewarded by being provided with cigars and cigarettes (Pahl:284). Discuss the ethics of this experiment.
Discuss the moral issue of informed consent. Why is it so important in medical research and experimentations? What are some of the circumstances that make it difficult to obtain?
Why is there a need for human experimentation?
