  • November 2016 By: Dr Michael James, HREC Chair
    Australasian Association of Bioethics and Health Law Melbourne - November 2016 By: Dr Michael James, HREC Chair The following expanded accounts are only those presentations for which I had taken enough notes. I attended many other presentations. Only the plenary sessions had invited presentations. The other presentations were from abstract submissions from investigators, including students, who were mainly from universities. 1. Joanna Manning , Faculty Of Law University Of Auckland Does the law on compensation for research-related injury in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand meet ethical requirements? Payment for Research Related Injury (RRI) Reliance on ex gratia payment. Is this relying on the argument that the injured person accepted a position of risk and therefore payment should not be automatic. In the UK injured participant must prove negligence or rely on ex gratia payment up to £50,000. It is preferable to have a mandated / legislated No Fault compensation and not have to rely on tort action to prove fault because unforseen risks are often the problem, Medicines Australia Guidelines state “...that the following Guidelines will be adhered to, without legal commitment,... ie without legal commitment it is an ex gratia payment. Reform would be a legislated no fault payment for RRI. It was argued that is appropriate because: The aim of the trial is to benefit society Society (regulators) mandates the need for trials for licensing purposes The injured person has accepted a position of risk but in this framework of the societal benefit of clinical trials. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Angela Ballantyne, University of Otago, Wellington, New Zealand Fair research and free riders: Do patients have an ethical obligation to provide health Medical knowledge is a public good.

  • The International Encyclopedia of Ethics
    Dear Contributors to the International Encyclopedia of Ethics, We have now reached an important milestone on the road to completing the International Encyclopedia of Ethics (IEE). We now have authors for all topics! Congratulations to everyone on this achievement, and thanks to you for your participation in this monumental project. Contracts are still in the process of being sent out contributors, but as of now all topics have authors assigned to them. This is by far the biggest and likely most important project I've worked on in my 11 years with Blackwell / Wiley-Blackwell. Attention to the importance of ethics is rapidly on the rise. In a host of professional settings and academic disciplines there are calls for improved awareness of and adherence to ethical standards, and a solid understanding of ethical theory continues to be an increasingly important part of education and professional training. I am very pleased to be involved in the creation of this comprehensive and authoritative resource, and I'm impressed by and grateful to everyone who has committed to bringing this unprecedented project off. We now enter a new phase in the publishing process. Because of the magnitude of this project, the press has to muster the energy of our production, marketing, and sales staffs at least 24 months before the encyclopedia will appear. That requires that we all work within a realistic but firm timetable for submission, review, and revision of entries. Everyone’s effort is required to bring this important work to fruition. So I urge, implore — and even beg — you to deliver your essays on time.

  • Ethics and Drug Resistance: Collective Responsibility for Global Public Health Public Health Ethics Analysis
    Public Health Ethics Analysis 5 Series Editor: Michael J. Selgelid Euzebiusz Jamrozik Michael Selgelid Editors Ethics and Drug Resistance: Collective Responsibility for Global Public Health Public Health Ethics Analysis Volume 5 Series Editor Michael J. Selgelid, Centre for Human Bioethics, Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia During the 21st Century, Public Health Ethics has become one of the fastest growing subdisciplines of bioethics. This is the first Book Series dedicated to the topic of Public Health Ethics. It aims to fill a gap in the existing literature by providing thoroughgoing, book-length treatment of the most important topics in Public Health Ethics—which have otherwise, for the most part, only been partially and/or sporadically addressed in journal articles, book chapters, or sections of volumes concerned with Public Health Ethics. Books in the series will include coverage of central topics in Public Health Ethics from a plurality of disciplinary perspectives including: philosophy (e.g., both ethics and philosophy of science), political science, history, economics, sociology, anthropology, demographics, law, human rights, epidemiology, and other public health sciences. Blending analytically rigorous and empirically informed analyses, the series will address ethical issues associated with the concepts, goals, and methods of public health; individual (e.g., ordinary citizens’ and public health workers’) decision making and behaviour; and public policy. Inter alia, volumes in the series will be dedicated to topics including:

  • Gain-Of-Function Research Ethical
    Preface The U.S. Government (USG), as part of its continued focus on biosafety and biosecurity, has undertaken a deliberative process to carefully examine the risks and benefits associated with GOF studies, notably, those that have the potential to generate pathogens, such as influenza viruses or coronaviruses, with “enhanced pathogenicity or transmissibility in mammals.” This process, which began in October 2014, is intended to inform the policy making process regarding future funding decisions by the United States in this area. The National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) was tasked with making recommendations to the USG on this matter and received a two-part charge: first, to make recommendations on the design, development and conduct of risk and benefit assessments (to be conducted by an independent, private firm), and second, to make recommendations on a conceptual approach to the evaluation of proposed GOF studies. To inform NSABB deliberations, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) commissioned this Ethical Analysis White Paper including • A review of the ethical literature associated with GOF studies • Identification of existing ethical- and decision-making frameworks • Development of an ethical- and decision-making framework for NSABB to consider when crafting its final recommendations This White Paper has been written by Professor Michael Selgelid. This preface was produced by the NIH Office of Science Policy. 1 White Paper Gain-of-Function Research: Ethical Analysis Professor Michael J. Selgelid Director Centre for Human Bioethics Monash University Melbourne, Australia I. Introduction Gain-of-function (GOF) research involves experimentation that aims, or is expected, to increase the transmissibility and/or virulence of pathogens.
