Respect for autonomy has become a fundamental principle in human research ethics. Nonetheless, this principle and the associated
process of obtaining informed consent do have limitations. This can lead to some groups, many of them vulnerable, being left
understudied. This book considers these limitations and contributes through legal and philosophical analyses to the search
for viable approaches to human research ethics. It explores the limitations of respect for autonomy and informed consent both
in law and through the examination of cases where autonomy is lacking (infants), diminished (addicts), and compromised (low
socio-economic status). It examines alternative and complementary concepts to overcome the limits of respect for autonomy,
including beneficence, dignity, virtue, solidarity, non-exploitation, vulnerability and self-ownership. It takes seriously
the importance of human relationality and community in qualifying, tempering and complementing autonomy to achieve the ultimate
end of human research - the good of humankind.

This book is recommended for scholars and practitioners interested in bioethics, legal studies, and research methodologies and regulation.' M. Uebel, Choice»
