Need for Prominent Core Curricula Designed and Taught by Persons with Disabilities in All Levels of Medical Education
The need for comprehensive core curricula in medical education regarding the health of persons with disabilities has been identified by disability scholars for many years and was recently reinforced by our research indicating Canadian physicians lack knowledge of the social model of disability, and their legal duty to ensure accommodation for persons with disabilities to have equal access to health. The purpose of the current research is to inves…
A brief and personal history of ‘what’s in a name’ in reproductive genetics
Although Juliet's claim, 'What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet', may apply to family names, 'that which we call' embryos and procedures in reproductive genetics often smell sweet because the names were created to perfume not-so-sweet-smelling practices. Reproductive-genetic scientists and clinicians, including myself, have used perfumed names to make our research smell sweet for research ethics boards…
Clinical Research With Pregnant Women
Limited clinical research with pregnant women has resulted in insufficient data to promote evidence-informed prenatal care. Charmaz's constructivist grounded theory methodology was used to explore how research with pregnant women would be determined ethically acceptable from the perspectives of pregnant women, health care providers, and researchers in reproductive sciences. Semistructured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 12 pr…
Simple genetics language as source of miscommunication between genetics researchers and potential research participants in informed consent documents
Informed consent is based on communication, requiring language to convey meanings and ensure understandings. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of language in informed consent documents used in the genetics research funded by Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Genome Canada. Consent documents were requested from the principal investigators in a recent round of funding. A qualitative content analysis was performed, suppor…
Tensions Between Anonymity and Thick Description When "Studying Up" in Genetics Research
Anonymity, according to Tilley and Woodthorpe, refers to removing or obscuring participant information, whereas "confidentiality refers to the management of private information." Both are major considerations for ethics review boards, but can be challenges when "studying up" in qualitative research because of the depth, precision, and uniqueness of the information, and the prominence of research participants. In anthropology, providing detailed a…

Genetics on stage
Moral presentation of genetics-based narratives for public understanding of genetic science and its implications
The increasing number of sequenced genes that can be used to develop tests for inherited conditions has stimulated an increasing number of genetics-based narratives by journalists, novelists, playwrights, filmmakers, and health-care educators. Genetics-based narratives are to be welcomed if the public is to understand genetic science and its implications on persons, families, and communities. However, a number of important ethical issues insist c…
