Drawing on her own records and those of federal agencies, Parente reveals how Canada’s human research protection regime remains disjointed, fractious, and prone to territorialism—often at the expense of those who offer their time and bodies to research intended to benefit us all. In a time of growing public distrust in science, the need for a rigorous and robust accreditation system is critical. Ethics on Trial is just such a plea.

Ethics on Trial is a story that needed to be told. For more than a quarter-century, efforts to strengthen the protection of human research participants in Canada have been repeatedly stymied—leaving a flawed system in place. It’s a regretful and shameful reality. Thank you, Janice, for bringing it to light.
