923 Words4 Pages

Magpantay, Frances Ysabelle Faye B. 4TE1 CASE 1 1. Discuss Eli Lilly’s practice from perspective of the categorical imperatives. 1st categorical imperative: Universalizability: What if everyone will take the newly discovered drug that they will release? Reversibility: What if I will be the one to be tested by the newly discovered drugs that they will release? 2nd categorical imperative: According to Kant the second categorical imperative which is humans as ends not means. This explains that people must be the one who will be benefiting in the new drug and not you. According to the case study, they are using the people to test the newly discovered drug. If we will apply the 2nd categorical imperative of Kant, they should not test it to humans just because they will have money. It is important first to make sure the drug is safe and the people will benefit from it. 2. Is there really “informed consent” here? Is the decision to participate a “truly voluntary and uncoerced decision”? Explain your answer.

The volunteers is not forced due to the monetary offer for the people who is in need of it. 3. In your judgment, is the policy of

    A new oral pharmaceutical drug for type- two diabetes had been approved for clinical use, it was called Compound 17392. Marketing companies instantly wanted to have prescribers adopt and sell the product and researchers wanted to further investigate previous reports of liver toxicity in patients. Now since paying patients to try new pharmaceutical drugs was an issue due to it appearing to interfere with clinical judgement and upholding the duty to do what is best for the patient, a new idea of furthering research for the drug came into play. The idea included recruiting a group of physicians who were in the top ten percent of prescribers for type-two diabetes.

    Informed consent involves the patient understanding “ all aspects of the trial, which are important for the participant to make a decision.... the participant voluntarily confirms his or her willingness to participate in a particular clinical trial and significance of the research for advancement of medical knowledge and social welfare”(Nijhawan 134). When provided informed consent, a patient might refuse to allow his or her doctor to take samples of what the medical professional believes is beneficial. Because of this refusal, the opportunity for potentially valuable research disappears. As a medical expert, you should take on the responsibility of deciding whether or not a patient’s condition becomes research. The research given by one person could become the breakthrough research that helps to save hundreds of lives.
