Law and Public Policy in Human Studies Research

Laws embody public policies which, in turn, reflect generally accepted standards of behavior. When conflicts exist or very sensitive issues must be resolved, commissions are frequently created to seek a consensus on what public policy ought to be. As I will explain, there has been good concordance throughout the 20th century between U.S. law and bioethics. Previous papers have discussed the Nuremberg Code, which of course was the culmination of a criminal trial [1]. But there are other court cases that have been landmarks in the United States and form the backdrop for any discussion of bioethics and public policy, because what ought to be done—or ought not be done—must be viewed within the parameters of what the law permits or requires.
