Abstract

Current dramatic developments in biomedical research on humans have produced a conflict between two weighty social concerns: On the one hand, the interest in the advancement of biomedical science for the benefit of the present and future generations;1 and on the other hand, the principle calling for treating the individual as an end in itself, with his rights to privacy, autonomy, and self-determination adequately protected. These two all-important social concerns require proper consideration and mutual balancing.
