The Ethics of Phase I Pediatric Oncology Trials
Balancing Moral Principles in Federal Regulations on Human Research
Case Studies
You are both personal physician and friend to another physician, Dr. G. He has seemed withdrawn, irritable, and distracted recently. You have heard rumors through the hospital grapevine that not long ago he made a serious error in calculating a medication dosage, but that the error was caught by the pharmacist before the drug was dispensed. Dr. G has resisted yur gentle explorations and expressions of concern during casual encounters, so you are …
Protectionism and the New Research Imperative in Pediatric Aids
In creating the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research in 1974, Congress acknowledged that previous initiatives to protect the rights and welfare of human subjects had not been adequate. Current federal regulations on research involving children, which evolved from the recommendations of the commission, reflect the atmosphere of protectionism in which they were originally drafted.' This prot…

The literature of research ethics contains only fragmentary analyses of moral guidelines for paying research subjects. There are also substantial differences in prevailing practices.

These constraints\nare psychological and social as well as physical and cognitive. The\ntherapeutic relationship, accordingly, entails a moral responsibility to\nrestore autonomous functioning by helping the patient deal with such\nimpediments. (K…
Childhood Cancer & Jehovah's Witnesses
Moral Duties of Investigators toward Sick Children
The Limits of Beneficence
T he moral dilemma presented by Jehovah's Witness parents who refuse lifesaving transfusions for their child is not new; neither is the accepted solution, which involves obtaining a court order when lifesaving transfusions are needed. But is this policy the correct one in all cases? Or are there instances in which the parents' refusal ought to be accepted? The current policy is grounded upon a moral claim tha was stated succinctly in 1944 by the …
