Abstract

|
As more emphasizing the roles of Institutional Review Board(“IRB”) in reviewing human subject research, some misunderstanding about IRB and Informed Consent(“IC”) has been more deepen, which just obtaining IC is regraded as the whole thing to secure ethical justification on researches with human subjects. Although obtaining IC with proper processes and enough explanations is a fundamental factor in human subjects research, it seems to be very naive to believe that it makes it possible to solve and justify all the ethical issues using human subjects on their researches.
In this paper, I will point out that such misunderstanding is largely attributable to overstress ‘the respect for autonomy’, which is well known ethical principles applied to get consents from human subjects. Futhermore, under the notion of ‘the respect for autonomy’, moral contradictions and practical conflicts might be happened when to apply it to ‘a waiver of consent’.
Based on above, I will insist that the ethical principle applied to IC in oder to protect human subjects is not to ‘respect for autonomy’ but to ‘respect for person’. Through this paper, I’d like to show that it is the time to face and to accept the unhappy reality of ‘Consent’ in human subject research.
