The Nuremberg Code

 

 

1. In the Nuremberg Code, find at least one point that focused on the research subject’s welfare and one point that focused on the research subject’s autonomy.

2. In the Belmont Report, find at least one point that focused on the research subject’s welfare and one point that focused on the research subject’s autonomy.

3. What was so ethically wrong with the Tuskegee syphilis study? (Use the four principles of bioethics in your ethical analysis.)

4. What sorts of ethical problems can happen when US medical researchers conduct medical research in developing countries? Specifically, what was good and bad about the AZT studies in Africa as discussed by Glantz and his co-authors?

5. In your own words, explain the proposal offered by Glantz and his co-authors for how medical researchers should conduct their research in developing countries. Do you think this is a good proposal: why or why not? Do you have any practical or ethical concerns for how the proposal would work?
