Medical care and biomedical research are rapidly becoming global. Ethical        questions that once arose only in the narrow context of the physician-patient        relationship in relatively prosperous societies are now being raised across        societies, cultures, and continents. For example, what should be the "e;standard of        care"e; for clinical trials of medical innovations in poorer countries? Are        researchers obligated to compare new therapies or drugs with the best known ones        available, or can theyuse as a benchmark the actual treatments (or lack of        treatments) available to poor people? Should pharmaceutical companies seeking to        lower the costs of new drug trials be allowed to enrol citizens of less developed        countries in them even when those individuals cannot afford and will not be        eligiblefor the resulting drugs? More generally, should the norms of medicine and        research be the same across cultures or can they adapt to local social, economic, or        religious conditions? Global Bioethics gathers some of the world's leading        bioethicists to explore many of the new questions raised by the globalization of        medical care and biomedical research. Among the topics covered are the impact of        globalization on the norms of medical ethics, the conduct of international research,        theethics of international collaborations, challenges to medical professionalism in        the international setting, and the relation of religion to global bioethics.
