Join Debbie, a clinical research professional, as she explains clinical research to her friend Elyse. Curious how the COVID vaccine was developed so quickly? Ever wondered what rules determine when you can get a new drug? Remember that one miracle drug they swore would cure cancer back in 2002 but then you never heard of it again? Let’s talk about that.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/intro-to-clinical-research-6592143"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 57 - Medical Ethics","slug":"episode-57-medical-ethics","published_at":"2026-05-04T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/intro-to-clinical-research-6592143/episode-57-medical-ethics","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/intro-to-clinical-research-6592143","url":"https://introtoclinicalresearch.podbean.com/e/episode-57-medical-ethics/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/xmkveqjhxrg2u8g4/Podcast_57_Version_18k7ki.mp3","summary":"Today, Debbie throws us all back into the Philosophy Ravine together to discuss medical ethics. We’re going to talk about what it is and use the framework of Medical Ethics to consider two case studies - the Minnesota Starvation Experiments and Covid-19 Challenge Studies. Content Warning - this podcast does discuss WW2, and experiments where patients chose to restrict their access to food. Remember, you can get in touch with us via clinical.research.intro@gmail.com. Please feel free to send questions, comments and compliments for Elyse to read out on the pod. It’s fun to make Debbie squirm! Credit to our friend Sam Winnie for their awesome and cute music.
