- Title
Toward a General Theory of Research Ethics.
- Authors
MENIKOFFF, JERRY
- Abstract
The article focuses on the principles of ethics in human subjects research. Franklin Miller and Alan Wertheimer argued that research ethics can be derived from a single intriguing concept of group soft paternalism. Group soft paternalism is the policy that protects from harm the group members that have impaired judgment, but for practical reasons applying the policy to all members of the group. The policy also provides an explanation for research rules relating to risks and benefits.
