The Sin and Guilt of Inaction
نویسنده
چکیده
There is significant tension between the value of the individual and society within clinical research. While various deontological theories have argued for the necessity of informed consent, these theories have been repudiated by consequentialism. It is my position that neither deontological nor consequentialist theories are entirely erroneous. While investigating both sides, I will highlight the necessary requirements for ethical research as I examine the claims put forth by deontological and consequentialist theorists. I will first critique the arguments of two deontologists, Alan Donagan and Hans Jonas and then offer an argument for the necessity of informed consent, while borrowing from Leon Eisenberg and rule-utilitarian theory.
