The philosopher Henry Richardson's short book is a defense of a
position on a neglected topic in medical research ethics. Clinical
research ethics has been a longstanding area of study, dating back
to the aftermath of the Nazi death-camp doctors and the Tuskegee
syphilis study. Most ethical regulations and institutions (such as
Institutional Review Boards) have developed in response to those
past abuses, including the stress on obtaining informed consent
from the subject. Richardson points out that that these ethical
regulations do not address one of the key dilemmas faced by medical
researchers - whether or not they have obligations towards subjects
who need care not directly related to the purpose of the study,
termed 'ancillary care obligations'. Does a researcher testing an
HIV vaccine in Africa have an obligation to provide
anti-retrovirals to those who become HIV positive during the trial?
Should a researcher studying a volunteer's brain scan, who sees a
possible tumor, do more than simply refer him or her to a
specialist? While most would agree that some special obligation
does exist in these cases, what is the basis of this obligation,
and what are its limits? Richardson's analysis of those key
questions and the development of his own position are at the heart
of this book, which will appeal to bioethicists studying research
ethics, to policy makers, and to political and moral philosophers
interested in the obligations of beneficence, one of the key issues
in moral theory.
