The Research Subject As Wage Earner, James Anderson, Charles Weijer
The Research Subject As Wage Earner, James Anderson, Charles Weijer
Charles Weijer
The practice of paying research subjects for participating in clinical trials has yet to receive an adequate moral analysis. Dickert and Grady argue for a wage payment model in which research subjects are paid an hourly wage based on that of unskilled laborers. If we accept this approach, what follows? Norms for just working conditions emerge from workplace legislation and political theory. All workers, including paid research subjects under Dickert and Grady's analysis, have a right to at least minimum wage, a standard work week, extra pay for overtime hours, a safe workplace, no fault compensation for work-related injury, and …

Conjoined Twins And Catholic Moral Analysis: Extraordinary Means And Casuistical Consistency, M. Cathleen Kaveny
Conjoined Twins And Catholic Moral Analysis: Extraordinary Means And Casuistical Consistency, M. Cathleen Kaveny
M. Cathleen Kaveny
This article draws upon the Roman Catholic distinction between “ordinary” and “extraordinary” means of medical treatment to analyze the case of “Jodie” and “Mary,” the Maltese conjoined twins whose surgical separation was ordered by the English courts over the objection of their Roman Catholic parents and Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, the Roman Catholic Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster. It attempts to shed light on the use of that distinction by surrogate decision makers with respect to incompetent patients. In addition, it critically analyzes various components of the distinction by comparing the reasoning used by Catholic moralists in this case with the reasoning used …
Lessons From Everyday Lives: A Moral Justification For Acute Care Research, Andrew Mcrae, Charles Weijer
Lessons From Everyday Lives: A Moral Justification For Acute Care Research, Andrew Mcrae, Charles Weijer
Charles Weijer
Progress in emergency and critical care requires that clinical research be performed on patients who are incapable of granting consent for research participation. Analyses of the ethics of such research have left some questions incompletely answered. Why should we be permitted to expose vulnerable patients to research risks without their consent? In particular, how do we justify research interventions that have no potential benefit for participants (nontherapeutic interventions)? This article presents a moral justification for nontherapeutic interventions in emergency research. By relying on a framework for assessing research risks, and by drawing on the example of pediatric research, this justification …

Attitudes Regarding Organ Donation From Non-Heart-Beating Donors, Sean Keenan, Barry Hoffmaster, Frank Rutledge, Jeannette Eberhard, Liddy Chen, William Sibbald
C. Barry Hoffmaster
PURPOSE: To determine the attitudes toward organ donation from non-heart-beating cadaver donors in a sample of the general public and health care workers.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A moderator-administered questionnaire was completed by members of the general public, recruited randomly from a professional consumer research group's database, and health care workers recruited from the same database, family practice clinics, and local hospitals. Two primary scenarios were tested: (1) patient in coma, not going to survive intensive care unit (ICU), and (2) patient lapsing in and out of consciousness, lifetime institutional care.
RESULTS: Sixty members of the general public and 68 health …

A Critical Appraisal Of Protections For Aboriginal Communities In Biomedical Research, Charles Weijer, James Anderson
A Critical Appraisal Of Protections For Aboriginal Communities In Biomedical Research, Charles Weijer, James Anderson
Charles Weijer
As scientists target communities for research into the etiology, especially the genetic determinants of common diseases, there have been calls for the protection of communities. This paper identifies the distinct characteristics of aboriginal communities and their implications for research in these communities. It also contends that the framework in the Belmont Report is inadequate in this context and suggests a fourth principle of respect for communities. To explore how such a principle might be specified and operationalized, it reviews existing guidelines for protecting aboriginal communities and points out problems with these guidelines and areas for further work.

Informed Consent And Patients' Rights In Japan: 2001 Epilogue, Robert B. Leflar
Informed Consent And Patients' Rights In Japan: 2001 Epilogue, Robert B. Leflar
Robert B Leflar
Japan is on a steeper trajectory toward the incorporation of informed consent principles into medical practice than the “gradual transformation” observed in a 1996 article, Informed Consent and Patients’ Rights in Japan. Among the most significant recent developments from 1996 to 2001 have been these seven: (1) the 1997 enactment of the Organ Transplantation Law permitting the use of brain death criteria in limited circumstances in which informed consent is present; (2) the strengthening of patients’ rights in clinical drug trials; (3) the continued trend toward increasing disclosure to patients of cancer diagnoses; (4) initiatives by the health ministry toward …
