Engineering Ethics at TAMU. This Web site at http //ethics.tamu.edu was developed at Texas A8dVI University through a National Science Foundation grant and provides the ethics case studies mentioned above, as well as links to current news media articles on real ethics issues. 

Curricula Reform and Development International ethics case studies should play an important role to enhance students awareness and ability to handle global ethics dilemmas. The case study materials should include typical cases relevant to ethics issues under various international contexts and from different countries. Further, it may also be informative to consider ethical imperatives held by other disciplines, especially when they pertain to how we manage a degrading natural environment (Watts and Buckeridge 2012). 

The ethics webpage maintained by the Department of Civil Engineering at Texas A M University (http //ethics.tamu.edu) was one of the first repositories for enginemng ethics case studies and essays (Texas A M University 2013). This site also contains proceedings from engineering ethics workshops and conferences, as... 

There is a further differentiation of ethical drugs into new drugs (those covered by patents) and generics (copies of drugs that have expired patents— see Case Study 10). Most of the descriptions in this book apply to new drugs.

Veatch, Robert M., and Amy Haddad. Case Studies in Pharmacy Ethics. Oxford Oxford University Press, 2008. The ethical issues relate to difficult decisions faced by pharmacists (rather than pharmaceutical companies). Examples of the topics covered in this book include assisted suicide, conscientious refusal, pain management, equitable distribution of drug resources within institutions and managed care plans, confidentiality, and alternative and nontraditional therapies. Another ethical issue concerns weighing costs and benefits in helping consumers choose drugs.

We should note here that there are some special cases for which the use of healthy participants is not justified in early studies. For particularly invasive therapies (for example, implantation of a medical device) or therapies with known toxicity (for example, oncologies) it is not ethical to study healthy participants. The use of healthy participants in early studies may also provide a misleading result for future studies of participants with disease. For example, the maximum tolerated dose of new antidepressants or anxiolytics may differ quite markedly between healthy participants and those with the disease.
