Biomedical Research in India: Law and Ethics at Crossroads

This article tries to lay out these inter-sectional linkages through the means of recent advocacy initiatives against the unethical conduct of trials on marginalised communities along with the broader scope of regulation of the biomedical research industry in India. A special case can also be made for legal clinics for students seeking to explore the intersectionality between law and ethics in the field of biomedical research in India. This is particularly important given the dynamic pace and scope of the industry that creates complex legal and ethical issues, questions and controversies, which often seem to fall through the gaps.
