Summary
Clinical research is a morally complex activity. When properly conducted, it represents a powerful tool for generating information and knowledge that often cannot be obtained by other means. When properly oriented, this knowledge represents the key to advancing the standard of care and creating the policies, practices, and interventions that can be used to improve the health of large populations of people.
