Do the ends justify the means? Getting a drug approved in the US is a long and involved process. But at some point out, it involves testing on humans. The ethics of such testing is the focus of a resource that uses Dr. Albert Sabin's testing of his polio vaccine on inmates at the Chilliothe Federal Reformatory to explore bioethics. Participants examine primary source documents and then take a position on the question of whether or not it was ethical for Dr. Sabin to use prisoners as human test subjects for his oral vaccine.
