  • The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks By Rebecca Skloot

    1631 Words  | 7 Pages

    This experiment, conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service, was intent to study the natural progression of syphilis in African American male population. The study participants voluntarily participated in the study but the researchers did not properly inform the participants on the availability of treatment or the risks of the disease if untreated. To make the matter worse, the participants were deliberately led to believe that they were receiving treatment from the Public Health Service for free, while the actual treatment was being withheld to achieve the purpose of the research. In today’s point of view, it is surprising that even the federal agency did not respect the dignity of human rights for the sake of research. In Henrietta’s era, even the federal agency did not follow the proper informed consent procedure, and a prestigious institution like John’s Hopkins did not have any regulations or office such as Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) to govern their research protocols to protect human subjects and their rights.

    (a) the first major criticism that is addressed in the first source is that Eva Peron “imprisoned upper-class women and adolescents for opposing against the government” also stating that these prisons were shared with drug addicts and prostitutes. She did this in an effort to inflict greater cruelty to the woman due to their social status. Secondly, it is mentioned that in some cases that Eva would interfere with the funerals of older women of the aristocracy, this would prevent their families from burying their deceased relatives with illustrious forebears, it is also noted Eva would not interfere in the funerals however if she was invited to tea by the women, stating that she promised not to get involved directly with their funerals.

Especially in this instance, it is evident that both neither the media nor the scientific community thought it was important to show people the person who made all of the scientific research and discoveries possible. Not only do the consequences of having this perspective ruin both their credibility and reliability but it also ruins their reputation. People no longer regard or remember

  • What Is The Reason Behind The Tuskegee Syphilis Study?

    The men were told that they were ill and promised free care. Offered therapy on a golden platter, they became willing subjects”.(Ogunburg) One of the main ethical issues that was raised in this film and through this study was that the participants were not informed that they had syphilis and what syphilis was. “Deceiving people is unethical” (Babbes, Rubin, 2011, pg. 83) and throughout the study, the participants were being treated unethically because the researchers and the doctors deceived the men into thinking syphilis was treatable and not as serious as it really was by minimizing the impact syphilis had on their bodies. Due to lack of education and economic status the participants in this study were easy to influence.

    “In addition to federal regulations, all 50 states have adopted some form of informed consent law, and many have adopted additional regulations as well, but there is wide variation among state laws regarding both clinical and research settings.” In South Carolina, a court case called Hook v. Rothstein sets the precedence for informed consent. The case is about a man named Jack Summers who went to his doctor complaining of stomach pain. The doctor gave him an antacid to help relieve pain and suggested he watch his diet. His pain did not subside so he had tests done which showed he had a large tumor in his intestines.

  • Unethical Behavior In Miss Evers Boys

    1342 Words  | 6 Pages

    I believe an unethical issue arises when they convince the men to join the study because they are so uneducated. Miss Evers tried to use terms that the men could follow with ease. In the time period in which the movie takes place, it was very common for African American males to drop out of school in order to support and provide for their family. Miss Evers offered the minimal amount of information as possible in order to convince the men to join the study. She would say the men had “bad blood” instead of saying exactly what syphilis was.

    But now his father was not showing sympathy by the way he reacted to the was his son walked into the room of his parents screaming at the top of his lungs. His father shouting at him to get him to notice his mistake then ripped the tape out of his head with anger, pulling 60 hairs out of his scalp. And after all of that, he decided to make the situation worse to start disciplining his son by hitting. This to me shows how none of the charters in the story show sympathy and are all selfish. If I was in the father 's son shows being screamed at and also being hurt I would feel desperate, hopeless, but jealous.

  • A Brief Review Of Allison Bechdel's Fun Home

    822 Words  | 4 Pages

    When reading an autobiography it is safe to assume that you are dealing with an unreliable narrator. This is the author’s story and no matter how objective they may try to be it will always be tainted with their own perspective of what happened since they were so close to the situations being described. So, one of the things someone writing an autobiography needs to be good at is tricking the audience into believing that their story is the truth. In Allison Bechdel’s graphic novel Fun Home, she uses a visual medium to help her accomplish this task.

    Between 1975 and 1979, an estimate of 2 million Cambodians were sent to the Killing Fields after the Khmer Rouge regime took over power. Within these fields, many people were either killed, starved, or worked to death so the regime may maintain an ethnic superiority and partake in an extreme version of Maoism. The Missing Picture and Enemies of the People are documentaries that take different approaches to tell the stories of Cambodians who were not only affected, but took part in the genocide. Both documentaries ultimately display documentary filmmaking, styles and issues that occur while making a film.

  • Inclusive, Ethical Approach Model

    392 Words  | 2 Pages

    The authors’ supporting argument is that in order to combat these problems of informed consent and ethical approval, the only logical solution is to develop an inclusive, ethical approach model. Throughout the article they introduce their development of responses to the problems encountered in the field and the ethical approval process. In doing so, they briefly demonstrate how the system lacks an effective model and the factors that need to be taken into account when building an ethical model. “Each of the authors drew on a combination of internal and external resources so as to develop more inclusive ethical approaches to obtaining consent from their vulnerable research participants” (Czymoniewicz-Klippel, Brijnath, & Crockett, 2010, p. 337).
