From Vioxx to the ASR Implant: Do Research Sponsors Suppress Bad News?5. Prisoners as Test Subjects6. The Cold-War Radiation Experiments7. The Willowbrook Hepatitis Experiments8. Baby FaeWhat are the ethical concerns of the case/context you have chosen? Be sure to use the language of ethical reasoning/deliberation (the theories and principles). Also, if there is an authored reading we have assigned for this week that applies to the case/issue, please include it.Finally, how would you access the arguments put forth by Peter Singer and Carl Cohen (from the authored reading section) on the use of nonhuman animals in medical research?
