challenging misconceptions: clarifying the role(s) of substitute decision-makers in the context of human subjects research

a tension exists between an absolute requirement for consent to research by a capable participant and the just distribution of research opportunities to particular patient populations. in ontario both investigators and rebs operate within the fiction of a legally authorized representative providing consent on behalf of incapable subjects.
ultimately a research consent act would best address this situation while avoiding therapeutic msconception. in the interim, procedures that ontario rebs can follow to respect the autonomy of incapable research particpants are suggested.

presenter:
kyle anstey, phd, senior bioethicist, university hospital network; assistant professor, university of toronto

panel:
richard maundrell, phd, associate professor, philosophy, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜
