Undue inducement is a very common charge in biomedical research. Too common. The charge is almost always inaccurate and incorrect. It usually reflects a separate ethical concern that has been transmuted and appended to a concern about inducements. This transformation is wrong, and usually distracts people from a real ethical concern that should be addressed. In this sense, the charge of undue inducement is not only wrong it can be harmful. Therefore, we should banish the claim about undue inducement.These are provocative claims, and most readers will think them odd if not ridiculous. They are meant to be provocative to shock us out of our complacency and inattentive use of terms. We, bioethicists and others involved in research ethics, have stopped critically thinking about undue inducement, and need to be challenged to systematically re-examine the concept and the role it plays in research ethics.
