Question
While most public health researchers and practitioners understand the Belmont Report and apply it everyday to their work, ethical issues still arise in epidemiology. For this discussion board assignment, I would like you to find a news article that describes a public health ethics violation from the last 5 years. 1. Describe the report. Who did it effect (leave out the who done it)? and if applicable, who figured the problem out? What were the circumstances and what was the outcome'? Where did it occur? When did it occur? Why did it occur? 2. State why this is an ethical violation and describe which part of the Belmont Report it violated (see lecture for the Belmont Report) 3. Anything else you would like to add PUBLIC HEALTHExplanation / Answer
A news article was published by Susan Scutti on Friday February 5, 2016-16:24.It stated that an estimated 19 million people participate in American research studies each year, yet it is impossible to calculate how many are harmed.
1.On January 2016 at France, research of an experiment drug intended to treat mood, anxiety, and movement disorders went tragically wrong, resulting in death of zone participant and hospitalisation of five others.As reported by the reporter the six men who fell ill had been in good health until taking the pill under study.
2.This is an etical violation as it has not protected the Beneficence(Principle of Belmont report) of the human subject, where beneficence means humans should not be harmed and it should minimise harm to the research participants.
3.Public health includes all people irespective of race, caste, creed, relgion,socioeconomic status,language, ethnicity.All lives are important and has a purpose in life.Belmont report has to be taken seriously in protecting the lives of human subjects.And researchers should take precautions in following the standards of protecting the lives of human subjects.
