Abstract

Lowering compensation to research subjects to protect them from “undue inducement” is a misguided attempt to shoehorn a concern about exploitation into the framework of autonomy. We suggest that oversight bodies should be less concerned about undue influence than about exploitation of subjects. Avoiding exploitation in human subjects research requires not only increasing compensation, but enhancing the dignity of research participation.

Lynch notes some interesting historical examples of laws that have limited wages — including, for example, some “passed by some state legislatures in the South after emancipation for reasons that were decidedly anti-worker.” As Lynch notes, “[i] n none of these examples, however, is payment limited out of fear that workers will suffer from undue inducement.” Lynch, supra note 32, at 160.Google Scholar
