Tuskegee syphilis experiment A doctor draws blood from one of the Tuskegee test subjects. The Tuskegee syphilis experiment (/tʌsˈkiːɡiː/)[1] was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African American men who thought they were receiving free health care from the U.S. government.[1] The Public Health Service started working with the Tuskegee Institute in 1932. The 40-year study was controversial for reasons related to ethical standards, primarily because researchers knowingly failed to treat patients appropriately after the 1940s validation of penicillin as an effective cure for the disease they were studying. By 1947, penicillin had become the standard treatment for syphilis.

Danielle Tarantola By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 16:48 GMT, 12 January 2012 A distraught dog lover had her beloved pet cloned so that she could be with him even after he had died. New Yorker Danielle Tarantola paid an incredible $50,000 for the procedure using pet Trouble's DNA to create another dog exactly the same as the first. She named the new pup Double Trouble after she contacted the world's only animal cloning company in South Korea. Double Trouble: The cloned pup may only a few months old but already he is living the same life as Trouble, in this photo the little pup is dressed as an angel, complete with halo. Clone ranger: Trouble dressed as an elf at Christmas time, his DNA has since been cloned by his New York owner And she said of her new pooch: 'I really can see no difference between them. Weeks later, the surrogate went into labour and Danielle watched the birth by webcam from her home in the U.S. Danielle first heard of the Asian cloning company in 2005 when Trouble was still alive.
(DSTL) Defence Science and Technology Laboratory Dossier d'information : Entretien avec… Marc Peschanski, directeur scientifique de l’I−Stem (unité Inserm 861) au Genopole® d’Evry © Inserm, Marc Peschanski Marc Peschanski (I−Stem, unité Inserm 861) Il y a quatre ans à peine, la loi de bioéthique était votée, autorisant par dérogation en France les recherches sur les cellules souches embryonnaires humaines (hES). Quelle place occupe aujourd’hui la recherche sur ces cellules porteuses de grands espoirs médicaux ? Dans notre pays, la recherche sur les cellules hES a commencé il y a très peu de temps, légalement à partir de début 2005. Dans ce domaine, où se situe la France par rapport aux autres nations étrangères ? La recherche française dans ce domaine affiche un retard considérable par rapport aux autres pays développés comme les Etats-Unis ou le Royaume-Uni, qui ont des années de recul, de formation et de résultats derrière eux. Comment expliquer ce retard de la recherche française ? Le retard législatif français a été dramatique pour la création des équipes et la formation générale des chercheurs, qui ont dû attendre 2005 pour commencer leurs travaux.
Research ethics The academic research enterprise is built on a foundation of trust. Researchers trust that the results reported by others are sound. Society trusts that the results of research reflect an honest attempt by scientists and other researchers to describe the world accurately and without bias. But this trust will endure only if the scientific community devotes itself to exemplifying and transmitting the values associated with ethical research conduct.[1] There are many ethical issues to be taken into serious consideration for research. Research ethics in a medical context is dominated by principlism, an approach that has been criticised as being decontextualised.[2] Research ethics is different throughout different types of educational communities. Research informants participating in individual or group interviews as well as ethnographic fieldwork are often required to sign an informed consent form which outlines the nature of the project. Key issues[edit] Honesty. See also[edit]

Trolley problem The trolley problem is a thought experiment in ethics, first introduced by Philippa Foot in 1967, but also extensively analysed by Judith Jarvis Thomson,[2][3] Peter Unger,[4] and Frances Kamm as recently as 1996.[5] Outside of the domain of traditional philosophical discussion, the trolley problem has been a significant feature in the fields of cognitive science and, more recently, of neuroethics. It has also been a topic on various TV shows dealing with human psychology.[citation needed] The general form of the problem is this: There is a runaway trolley barrelling down the railway tracks. Overview[edit] Foot's original formulation of the problem ran as follows: Suppose that a judge or magistrate is faced with rioters demanding that a culprit be found for a certain crime and threatening otherwise to take their own bloody revenge on a particular section of the community. Related problems[edit] The fat man[edit] One such is that offered by Judith Jarvis Thomson: Act utilitarians deny this.
(RSC) Royal Society of Chemistry Ethics The three major areas of study within ethics are:[1] Meta-ethics, concerning the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions, and how their truth values (if any) can be determinedNormative ethics, concerning the practical means of determining a moral course of actionApplied ethics, concerning what a person is obligated (or permitted) to do in a specific situation or a particular domain of action[1] Defining ethics[edit] The word "ethics" in English refers to several things.[6] It can refer to philosophical ethics—a project that attempts to use reason in order to answer various kinds of ethical questions. [edit] Main article: Meta-ethics Meta-ethics asks how we understand, know about, and what we mean when we talk about what is right and what is wrong.[8] An ethical question fixed on some particular practical question—such as, "Should I eat this particular piece of chocolate cake?" Meta-ethics has always accompanied philosophical ethics. Normative ethics[edit] Virtue ethics[edit]
(IEE not IEEE) Institution of Electrical Engineers IEE logo The Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE, on lowercase letters: iee, pronounced I-double-E or I-E-E) was a British professional organisation of electronics, electrical, manufacturing, and Information Technology professionals, especially electrical engineers. It began in 1871 as the Society of Telegraph Engineers. In 2006, it ceased to exist independently, becoming part of the Institution of Engineering and Technology. Notable past presidents have included Lord Kelvin (1889), Sir Joseph Swan (1898) and Sebastian de Ferranti (1910–11). History[edit] The IEE was founded in 1871 as the Society of Telegraph Engineers, changed its name in 1880 to the Society of Telegraph Engineers and Electricians and changed it again to the Institution of Electrical Engineers in 1889. In 1980 the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) merged with the Institution of Electronic and Radio Engineers (IERE), originally the British Institution of Radio Engineers (Brit IRE).

Human subject research Human subject research is not a systematic investigation that can be either research or clinically oriented and involves the use of human subjects in any capacity.[1] Systematic investigation incorporates both the collection and analysis of data in order to answer a specific question. Examples of clinically oriented investigation include analysis of biological specimens, epidemiological and behavioral studies and medical chart review studies.[1] Examples of research oriented investigation include surveys, questionnaires, interviews, and focus groups. Human subject research is used in various fields, including research into basic biology, clinical medicine, nursing, psychology, sociology, political science, and anthropology. As research has become formalized, the academic community has developed formal definitions of "human subject research", largely in response to abuses of human subjects.
