Veatch's thesis is that the patient is neither passive subject to be helped by fatherlike figures nor mere material from whom we may obtain socially useful information. It is not enough that the patient be fully informed of, and consent to, the risks. Instead, he or she is a partner in the research, and that entails an understanding and approval of its purposes as well as its risks. Few people have thought so long and hard about medical ethics as has Veatch. His depth of analysis and familiarity with the daily protocols of experimentation is evident on every page. An important work that belongs in most libraries. Sidney Gendin, Philosophy Dept., Eastern Michigan Univ., Ypsilanti
