Opis

This title was first published in 2001. Presenting the results of the EU-funded EURICON project in biomedical ethics, this book examines the problems posed for neonatal research by the requirement that research subjects give informed consent. It also explores the work of Research Ethics Committees, their response to EURICON’s analysis of the views of clinicians and parents and their attitudes towards the relevant laws and legal requirements.

Recenzje

’Essential reading not only for anyone involved in neonatal research but also for medical ethicists and members of research ethics committees. This book offers both a stimulating and critical discussion of the informed consent issues and a comparative analysis of regulation in Europe’ Professor Ruth Chadwick, Lancaster University ’European Neonatal Research is the first comprehensive project to examine the related subjects of informed consent for neonatal research and the function of research ethics committees in Europe... Anyone interested in research with human subjects or neonatal research will find this work valuable. The editors are to be commended for effectively balancing the presentation of research results with chapters that critically reflect on the significance of the research findings.’ George J. Agich, F.J. O’Neill Chair in Clinical Bioethics, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, US 'Incorporating clinical, ethical, legal and sociological perspectives, the results and recommendations presented in this book will be of widespread significance to practitioners, researcher and policy makers throughout Europe and beyond.' Human Reproduction and Genetic Ethics ’...worth reading for doctors who design clinical research projects in neonatology as well as for members of RECs, irrespective of their professional discipline.’ Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy 'There is much useful information and advice in this volume, which should be available to any REC or IRB that reviews protocols froma neonatal intensive care unit.' Bulletin of Medical Ethics
