The Censor's Hand by Carl E. Schneider
The Misregulation of Human-Subject Research
In this insightful exploration of the American regulatory landscape, the author delves into the complexities and consequences of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that oversee research involving human subjects. The narrative critically examines how these boards, initially established to protect participants, have evolved into powerful entities that often hinder scientific progress and innovation. Through a blend of historical context, case studies, and legal analysis, the book argues that the current system, while well-intentioned, frequently imposes excessive and inconsistent restrictions that stifle research without necessarily enhancing participant safety.
