Summary
The dominant bioethical paradigm that provides the context for research ethics discourse has evolved within Western philosophy’s powerful normative framework and is built on a relationship model that explains and underpins the obligations doctors have to their patients. In this one-to-one relationship, the doctor is claimed to have primary duties to do no harm to patients and to respect patients’ rights. Employing the values of liberal individualism currently dominant in Western civilization, this model provides the starting point for understanding ethical research practice. Hence, researchers, like doctors, have obligations to do no harm to subjects and to respect their rights within the dominant conception of what these rights are or should be.
