ANT358H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Nuremberg Code, Moral Relativism, Global Health
Document Summary
Ethics of drug production (petryna) v. global health clinical trials (crane) Limitations of bioethical principles in practice (exploiting those with less power v. ethical imperialism) How do people come to the conclusion that something was ethical/unethical. From history of nazi experimentation and influenced by nuremberg code (ethical guidelines from concentration camp about human research) Not legally binding under international law; nothing binding of international law. Petryna: draws authority by being codified by national state laws. 2000 revision: direct result about debate of azt trials. Elements of a new method = tested against best prophylactic, diagnostic, therapeutic methods (doesn"t exclude placebos or no treatments) How international ethical guidelines are recast/reformulated as trials for global research subjects are organized at the same time. Cros cost-effectively find treatment-naive populations for clinical drug trials (because in some populations it might be okay/ethical to conduct certain trials that aren"t acceptable in other populations)
