Abstract

For what specific purposes might we wish to limit inquiry? Do we wish to curb only the means or even the ends of inquiry? Let me advance some suggestions. One is the preservation of human dignity. We should not do experiments that involuntarily make of man a means rather than an end. The ethics of human experimentation are, I think, now rather well accepted, even though it must be recognized that such restraints blunt pure inquiry.
