Individual versus social good of research — Panicola et a. topline summary

The desire to pursue scientific inquiry must never be allowed to trump the interests and inherent value [dignity] of the irreplaceable human beings who enroll in such research… humans must never be treated as a means to an end

19

Focus on people, planet, and profit in decision-making.

  • implication for abortion = the right to life establishes an absolute obligation never to intend the destruction of innocent human life

  • implication of IVF ethics = “unused” embryos are human persons with legal and moral rights

24
New cards

Nonpersonal Position

View that personhood does not start at conception.

  • implications for abortion = right to autonomy is absolute “my body, my choice”

New cards

two types of stem cells

ESCs: embryonic stem cells obtained from five- to seven-day-old embryos called blastocyst

ASCs: adult stem cells are found in the human body once it has developed beyond the blastocyst stage… adult stem cell term is misleading

“Bridge cells” Embryonic Germ Cells (EGCs)

48
New cards

potency of two types of stem cells

ESCS are pluripotent - can become different types of cells and potentially more readily available

ASCs and EGCs are multipotent - believed to be limited to becoming only the type of cell the tissue found in

criteria of Medical Futility

continue treatment when [A] highly unlikely to succeed in achieving its desired ends or [B] when its rare, beneficial exceptions cannot be systematically explained or reproduced

  • [A] is subjective: likely futile given circumstances. e.g., chemotherapy to a non-cancer patient

  • [B] is objective: not standard of care due to lack of replicable scientific research. e.g., this worked once so…
