Professor Margaret Brazier, University of Manchester The growing globalisation of medical research and the application of new biotechnologies in morally contested areas has forced a revision of international ethical guidelines. This book examines the controversies surrounding biomedical research in the twenty first century from a human rights perspective, analysing the evolution and changes in form and content of international instruments regulating the conduct of biomedical research. The approach adopted is comparative and includes an evaluation of human rights and UK and US law on embryonic stem cell research, the HIV/Aids trials in the developing world, the Alder Hey enquiry and the human radiation and nerve gas experiments on human subjects in the US and the UK.This is the first book to analyse some of the major issues in biomedical research today from an international, comparative human rights perspective. Flap Leaders today are grappling with complex choices, diverse customers and employees, and unprecedented uncertainty in the economic environment. Business models are becoming obsolete, cost and performance pressures are growing, regulatory requirements are changing, and trust in institutions is declining. Tackling these and other growing demands requires every leader to radically rethink what constitutes effective leadership. Leading in Times of Crisis presents a new approach and concrete steps to compete in this complex, diverse, and uncertain marketplace. Drawing on compelling research and more than twenty interviews with CEOs and top-level executives, former executives and professors David Dotlich, Peter Cairo, and Stephen Rhinesmith highlight the growing urgency to evolve from a traditional, one-dimensional leadership model to what they term "whole leadership." Whole leadership allows leaders to act in three ways that are important now but absolutely essential to their business in the future: Rethink Your Business Connect with Stakeholders Live Your Values In an accessible, no-nonsense style, the authors provide new and experienced leaders with specific action steps for facing difficult choices, engaging diverse customers and employees, and acting in the face of uncertainty to deliver results and move companies forward in a turbulent, demanding, and resource-constrained world. Leading in Times of Crisis will help you become a "whole leader" by aligning your purpose, skills, and decisions with the outcomes your business requires. Read it and find out how every leader has the potential to make a difference in this new world. Author Biography Aurora Plomer is a Lecturer in Law at the University of Nottingham.

Health professionals, lawyers, ethicists and indeed, research subjects will learn a great deal from this work. - Professor Margaret Brazier, University of ManchesterThis book by a leading British health care lawyer and philosopher provides the first sustained and in-depth analysis of the impact of the Council of Europes Convention on Human Rights Biomedicine (CHRB) on research ethics...In all three parts the analysis is wide ranging and incisive, and the author manages to draw on both her legal and philosophical competence. I personally disagree with the author on a number of points, especially whether the human rights framework introduced by the CHRB is really more determinate than the previous principles framework in the Helsinki Declaration, but these are minor quibbles. In summary this is an excellent book that should find its place on the shelves of any European academic seriously interested in biomedical research ethics and law. - Soren Holm, Journal of Medical Ethics, September 2005This meticulous book, with a copious bibliography and references, provides much concrete detail (including a table of relevant cases from 1788 to the present) that will illuminate ongoing discussion of medical ethics. - Bernard Ada, British Medical Journal, 30 July 2005There are very few authors with the philosophical and legal background to write a book such as this, so readers will be pleased to find a work written with deep knowledge, clarity, and sensitivity. - Roger Crisp, St Annes College, OxfordThe book is a rich exploration of a complex set of questions, and it provides an important, fertile context for the asking ethical questions in the globalization of medical research. - K. W. Wildes, Human Rights Review, vol. 9 no. 1 (2008) …this is a worthy and stimulating read which draws profitably from the authors legal and philosophical experience, and it represents a useful tool for anyone who is interested in human subject research, bioethics and emerging biolaw. - Shawn H.E. Harmon, Script-ed, vol. 4 no. 2 (2007)… there are two reasons why the book should have appeal to anyone interested in this area of law and ethics. First, it provides an articulate and interesting discussion of the main legal and ethical developments in this area and so will be a valuable resource. Secondly, regardless of whether you agree with Plomers approach or all of her arguments, the book should stimulate thought and debate. - Alasdair Maclean, Medical Law Review, Vol. 14 no. 2 (2006)…a coherent argument for the need to readdress the type of standards of behaviour required both by research sponsors and the courts in examining possible abuses. Each chapter draws on illustrative examples of abuse and concludes with an analysis of the failings of principle driven regulation and explores a fledgling taxonomy based upon more specific human rights, already neatly set up and laid out in Chapters 1 and 2.. - Stuart Andrews, Modern Law Review, vol. 69 no. 2 (2006)The book is a rich exploration of a complex set of questions, and it provides an important, fertile context for the asking ethical questions in the globalization of medical research. - K.
