Condition: Very Good. Overall, very good condition. Research physicians face intractable dilemmas when they consider introducing new medical procedures. Innovations carry the promise of preventing or curing life-threatening diseases, but they can also lead to injury or even death. How have clinical scientists made high-stakes decisions about undertaking human tests of new medical treatments? In Lesser Harms, Sydney Halpern explores this issue as she examines vaccine trials in America during the early and mid-twentieth century. Today's scientists follow federal guidelines for research on human subjects developed during the 1960s and 1970s. But long before these government regulations, medical investigators observed informal rules when conducting human research. They insisted that the dangers of natural disease should outweigh the risks of a medical intervention, and they struggled to accurately assess the relative hazards. Halpern explores this logic of risk in immunization controversies extending as far back as the eighteenth century. Then, focusing on the period between 1930 and 1960, she shows how research physicians and their sponsors debated the moral quandaries involved in moving vaccine use from the laboratory to the clinic. This probing work vividly describes the efforts of clinical investigators to balance the benefits and dangers of untested vaccines, to respond to popular sentiment about medical hazards, and to strategically present risk laden research to sponsors and the public. ,ÄúConcise and extremely well-written. . . .

Paperback. Condition: New. They weren't willing to kill for their country, but they were willing to die for it.During World War II, religious pacifist David Miller and a group of conscientious objectors made an extraordinary choice: they signed up for government-sponsored medical experiments that intentionally infected them with hepatitis. Their goal was simple but dangerous-help scientists understand a disease that was sickening American soldiers fighting on the front lines.Infected for Science tells this remarkable true story through the striking artwork of Trygve Faste and Sydney Halpern's deeply researched narrative. Drawing on archival records and the sharp, humorous cartoons Miller himself sketched, the graphic novel follows the men through grueling medical tests and the looming fear of serious illness. What emerges is both a gripping, previously hidden history and a portrait of moral courage and conviction. The book reveals the heavy human costs of the experiments-and explores how the volunteers responded upon discovering that a group of individuals were being subjected to disease-inducing medical studies without their consent.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The untold history of Americans mid-twentieth-century program of hepatitis infection research, its scientists aspirations, and the damage it caused human subjects From 1942 through 1972, American biomedical researchers deliberately infected people with hepatitis. Government-sponsored researchers were attempting to discover the basic features of the disease and the viruses causing it, and develop interventions that would quell recurring outbreaks. Drawing from extensive archival research and in-person interviews, Sydney Halpern traces the hepatitis program from its origins in World War II through its expansion during the initial Cold War years, to its demise in the early 1970s amid outcry over research abuse. The subjects in hepatitis studies were member of stigmatized groupsconscientious objectors, prison inmates, and developmentally disabled adults and children. The book reveals how researchers invoked military and scientific imperatives and the rhetoric of common good to win support for the experiments and access to potential recruits. Halpern examines consequences of participation for subjects long-term health, and raises troubling questions about hazardous human experiments aimed at controlling todays epidemic diseases.

Hardback. Condition: New. The untold history of America's mid-twentieth-century program of hepatitis infection research, its scientists' aspirations, and the damage the project caused human subjects  "Sydney Halpern has written a compelling, if unsettling, history of hepatitis research during World War II and the Cold War. It will become a must-read for anyone interested in bioethics and medical history."-Susan E. Lederer, author of Subjected to Science and Flesh and Blood   From 1942 through 1972, American biomedical researchers deliberately infected people with hepatitis. Government-sponsored researchers were attempting to discover the basic features of the disease and the viruses causing it, and to develop interventions that would quell recurring outbreaks. Drawing from extensive archival research and in-person interviews, Sydney Halpern traces the hepatitis program from its origins in World War II through its expansion during the initial Cold War years, to its demise in the early 1970s amid an outcry over research abuse.   The subjects in hepatitis studies were members of stigmatized groups-conscientious objectors, prison inmates, the mentally ill, and developmentally disabled adults and children. The book reveals how researchers invoked military and scientific imperatives and the rhetoric of a common good to win support for the experiments and access to recruits. Halpern examines the participants' long-term health consequences and raises troubling questions about hazardous human experiments aimed at controlling today's epidemic diseases.…
