There is a considerable history of how medical research has been conducted in morally inappropriate, even devastatingly inappropriate ways. People have forced into serving as human subjects in research projects, deceived, risks not being disclosed or at least not fully disclosed to get people to volunteer but in the absence of full disclosure of risks, informed consent is not fully informed. But what to do if full disclosure of risks would scare people away from volunteering? The dilemma is that research is vitally important for continued progress in terms of medical technology and break-throughs while at the same time abiding by the strictest of ethical standards in terms of how research is carried out -- can we have it both ways? Does the importance of progress in terms of combating illnesses outweigh the importance of taking ethics seriously in terms of risks to the human subjects which are part of the means of reaching the goal of such progress -- a sure conflict between the utilitarian standard of doing what benefits the greatest number versus the Kantian ideal of respecting people and not simply using them to achieve a desired end. To those ends, do we offer incentives to get people to volunteer as human subjects of research projects; is that putting unfair pressure on the less affluent to agree; do we say let respect for the individual be damed given the importance of eradicating disease; do we put animals into service -- who cares if animals are put at risk so long as we humans derive a benefit in terms of finding treatments and cures for what ails us; do we make use of the findings of research immorally conducted -- why waste possibly important findings even though such was obtained in ethically improper ways or would doing so encourage further improperly conducted research to be undertaken again? Discuss these important issues raised by considerations of the ethics of medical research.
