Study Notes
Early Human Subject Experiments
- Vaccination trials were conducted in the 1700s, with physicians using themselves or their family members as test subjects.
- Edward Jenner tested smallpox vaccines on his son and neighborhood children.
- Johann Jorg swallowed 17 drugs in various doses to record their properties.
Ethical Issues in Early Research
- Lack of informed consent was a common issue in early research studies.
- Vulnerable individuals were exploited, and coercion or undue pressure was used to participate in clinical trials.
- Withholding available treatment from research subjects and putting them at unnecessary risk were also common ethical issues.
- Deception was another major concern in these studies.
Nazi Medical Experiments
- During World War II, German physicians conducted inhumane medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners.
- High Altitude Experiments were conducted to test how long pilots could survive with little oxygen.
- Hypothermia Experiments were divided into two parts: establishing how long it would take to lower the body temperature to death and how to best resuscitate the frozen victim.
- Malaria Experiments were conducted to investigate immunization and treatment for malaria, resulting in severe pain and permanent disability for many subjects.
Definition of Research
- Research is a systematic investigation, including research development, testing, and evaluation, designed to develop knowledge.
- Research raises ethical issues and has different views, including therapeutic, non-therapeutic, and intervention research.
Types of Research
- Therapeutic research aims to benefit the individual research participant or patient by treating or curing their condition.
- Non-therapeutic research aims to benefit people other than the research participant, but may not provide immediate benefit to the participant.
- Intervention research is always invasive and involves risks, while observation research may be non-invasive and involve no risk.
Historical Events in Human Research
- Before the 19th century, research was small scale and largely therapeutic in intent.
