US and EU laws demand pediatric studies as a condition for the approval of new drugs in adults. This is called \"Pediatric Drug Development\" (PDD). Although apparently reasonable, there are catches. Children are vulnerable at birth, but they grow and become bodily mature with puberty, well before coming of age. Minors are not another species. The 18th birthday, an administrative\/ legal limit, does not correspond to a physiological change. Drugs treat the body, not the legal status. PDD results in pointless studies in bodily mature adolescents, and in exaggerated studies in younger minors. An originally well-intentioned concept results in thousands of questionable studies worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book draws attention to conflicts of interest and ethical dilemmas of PDD and questions its applicability for adolescents and minors that are no longer babies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Klaus Rose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804411353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804411353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ethics International Press, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Klaus Rose","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445769941247,"sku":"9781804411353","price":131.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5bfbb6d-77c0-4f40-a8c6-8834b240707a.jpg?v=1777220535","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abuse-of-minors-in-clinical-klaus-rose-9781804411353","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
