different things to different people. To the biomedical scientist it could include the crucial basic investigations that lead to a life- and cost-saving vaccine. By contrast, to a hospital's staff ethicist it could entail devising a policy of informed consent for experimental medical treatments. Health-care research, according to many experts, covers the spectrum from fundamental research projects like those in cell biology to such applied questions as how to lower costs yet maintain high-qua
