            Abstract:
             The news that patients at the Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) in Trivandrum were administered an experimental drug without their knowledge should not surprise us. However, the very fact that this trial took place is a reflection on the inadequacy of existing mechanisms to protect participants from unethical research.
