This report was produced by the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Assessing the System for Protecting Human Research Subjects. The report explores a variety of issues related to the safety and rights of the participants in clinical research, including informed consent, the right of subjects to say no and the choice to change one's mind, the ability of institutional review boards to handle the complex responsibilities given to them, and the ability to organize and monitor this "nonsystem of evolutionarily unprecedented human behavior" in order to "maximize its glorious potential and control its dark risks." The report suggests ways in which accreditation might contribute to a new level of excellence. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
