- This edited collection brings together the proceedings of an international colloquium funded by the Brocher Foundation (Geneva), the Wellcome Trust and the Thyssen Foundation in 2014. The book totals 570 pages and stems out of the close collaboration between the three co-editors (U. Schmidt, A. Frewer and D. Sprumont) and the World Medical Association, WHO and the Federal Commissioner for Stasi Records, which made their unpublished records available to the scholars contributing to this volume (8 of those records are also published in the book’s appendixes). The book collects the contributions of 28 international scholars in the fields of bioethics, health and medical law, biomedicine, medical humanities, philosophy, and history from the UK, the US, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Lithuania, Brazil, Finland, Canada, Cameroon and China. The book focuses on the theory and practice of research ethics from the World Medical Association’s Declaration of Helsinki on clinical trials of 1964 to its implementations and codifications around the world up to 21st century, exploring how the Declaration originated, changed and functions. Schmidt authored 2 chapters of the book (single-authored, ch. 4, 11, 600 words, pp. 101-130; co-authored with M. Wahl, ch. 6, 8,700 words, pp. 167-189 – Schmidt wrote 75% of this chapter). Schmidt also co-authored with D. Sprumont and A. Frewer the substantial introduction (16,500 words, pp. 1-43 – Schmidt wrote 95% of the introduction) and the conclusions (1,100 words, pp. 551-553 – Schmidt authored 50% of the conclusion). Overall, Schmidt wrote and researched about 20,000 words of this volume and took the lead with regards to organizing this team of researchers and co-ordinating the complex editing process of the volume, carrying out more than 50% of the editorial work and conceptualisation of the volume himself - as acknowledged by Schmidt being first-named on the front cover.
