Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics Symposium Reexamines Research Ethics

The Winter 2012 issue of the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics features presented at a November 2011 Wake Forest University Center for Bioethics, Health, and Society presented a conference entitled "Research Ethics: Reexamining Key Concerns."

As the introduction to the symposium explains,

This symposium contains papers prepared by presenters at that conference and in response to a call for papers addressing the three conference foci: the legacy of Tuskegee; innovation, commercialization, and the goals of biotechnology research; and rethinking the IRB's role. Conference presenters with papers in this symposium are Giselle Corbie-Smith, Rebecca Dresser, Steven Joffe, James Jones, Jonathan Kahn, Alex John London, and Jeremy Sugarman.

Here is the table of contents for the symposium. I will comment on relevant items as time allows. As of posting, the DOI's below are not working; I think this is a problem with the journal, not my HTML.
