Carl Elliott, Star Tribune; Medicine and ethics: Will we learn to take research scandals seriously?
"“The Experiments” is a cautionary tale of how the refusal of
institutional leaders to look honestly at ethical problems can lead to
the deaths of unsuspecting patients. And while the jury is still out as
to whether the Karolinska Institute will reform itself, at least the
Swedish public and concerned politicians are trying to hold the
institution accountable.
That is more than we can claim for Minnesota. As they say in the
rehabilitation units: The first step to recovery is admitting you have a
problem."
