Abstract
Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common form of dementia which affects 55 million people worldwide. Not surprisingly, it is a key focus of research involving huge funding. Scientific fraud has inevitably surfaced in this research area. This essay discusses a report of alleged fraud and its implications for the credibility of scientific research.
期刊介绍:
The Indian Journal of Medical Ethics (formerly Issues in Medical Ethics) is a platform for discussion on health care ethics with special reference to the problems of developing countries like India. It hopes to involve all cadres of, and beneficiaries from, this system, and strengthen the hands of those with ethical values and concern for the under-privileged. The journal is owned and published by the Forum for Medical Ethics Society, a not-for-profit, voluntary organisation. The FMES was born out of an effort by a group of concerned doctors to focus attention on the need for ethical norms and practices in health care.
