Below is a list of citations that cover what you're looking for.

The strongest and most current of the list is the Whalley article in
Computers in Biology and Medicine.

I believe that there are some articles in the literature of legal
research on whether computer simulations can be submitted as evidence
in a court case.

 (1991, Aug 3). Being and believing: ethics of virtual
reality. [editorial] Lancet, 338(8762, 283-284.

reality. Intelligent Tutoring Media, 3(1), pp. 23-28.

Gigliotti, C. (1995).  Aesthetics of a virtual world. Leonardo, 28(4),
pp. 289-295.

virtual reality to medicine. Computers in Biology and Medicine. 25(2),
pp 107-114.
