From the book reviews:"The book will appeal to ethicists and college professors who are interested in research ethics and/or ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) projects. The book also will be useful to a variety of students interested in law and bioethics, or who are planning to conduct RMR. ... this book provides many interesting insights into RMR, and those in the intended audience likely will find it to be useful, relevant, and thought provoking."
