Abstract

Globally, India is an emerging hub for clinical trials with having a growth of 30 percent per year. The average cost of a clinical trial in India is considerably lower than in the United States. However, incomplete and biased unethical trials on human beings have been conducted around the world, particularly in India. Some unethical experiments have been conducted recently; some are still being conducted. The most common issues and challenges regarding unethical human experimentation in India have been described in this chapter.
