It is concluded in the …Read more

71The Concept of Voluntary ConsentAmerican Journal of Bioethics 11 (8): 6-16. 2011.Our primary focus is on analysis of the concept of voluntariness, with a secondary focus on the implications of our analysis for the concept and the requirements of voluntary informed consent. We propose that two necessary and jointly sufficient conditions must be satisfied for an action to be voluntary: intentionality, and substantial freedom from controlling influences. We reject authenticity as a necessary condition of voluntary action, and we note that constraining situations may or may not …Read more

283Opposing views on animal experimentation: Do animals have rights?Ethics and Behavior 7 (2). 1997.Animals have moral standing; that is, they have properties (including the ability to feel pain) that qualify them for the protections of morality. It follows from this that humans have moral obligations toward animals, and because rights are logically correlative to obligations, animals have rights.

462Informed Consent: Its History, Meaning, and Present ChallengesCambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 20 (4): 515-523. 2011.The practice of obtaining informed consent has its history in, and gains its meaning from, medicine and biomedical research. Discussions of disclosure and justified nondisclosure have played a significant role throughout the history of medical ethics, but the term “informed consent” emerged only in the 1950s. Serious discussion of the meaning and ethics of informed consent began in medicine, research, law, and philosophy only around 1972
