Law and Economics

Abstract: My friend Pradeep Mehta has been a pioneer in the field of consumer rights and protection, a sound and balanced voice on trade policy and matters relating to competition law and regulatory regimes. He is also an institution builder and has created a formidable one in CUts and is in the process of repeating the exercise in the newly established CUts institute for Regulation & Competition (CiRC). His many contributions to the policy discourse have one common characteristic—they deal quite directly with the interface between law and economics. Hence, this contribution to commemorate his 65th birthday focuses on some conceptual issues relating to this link.

National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research: Research on the Fetus

Abstract: On July 12, 1974, the National Research Act (Pub. L. 93-348) was signed into law, thereby creating the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. One of the charges to the Commission was to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects and to develop guidelines which should be followed to assure that such research is conducted in accordance with those principles. In carrying out the above, the Commission was directed to consider: (i) the boundaries between biomedical and behavioral research and the accepted and routine practice of medicine, (ii) the role of assessment of risk-benefit criteria in the determination of the appropriateness of research involving human subjects, (iii) appropriate guidelines for the selection of human subjects for participation in such research and (iv) the nature and definition of informed consent in various research settings.
