Sažetak
Due to her premature death, Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958), the researcher who used x-ray diffraction crucial for the determination of the structure of DNA, never got a prize for her work. The group of scientists who used Franklin’ s discovery – Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins, however, shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and all the public recognition in 1962. It is the intention of the present paper to pinpoint the ethical controversy of the Franklin case and to suggest a revision of the Nobel-Prize awarding procedure in order to avoid similar injustice in the future.
