The case of Ken and Marie Pines, research protocol 2006-999, and XAN and medical procedures, raise several ethical issues. We will discuss these issues with an eye to sharpening understanding of research/protocol ethics and the practices of clinical ethics. The intersections of biomedical research and ethics will be considered and evaluated.
