Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Health Research plays a vital role in addressing injustices and human development, but to attain developmental objectives the research must be based on complete scientific and ethical principles. For now, it is accepted that ethics play a significant role in health research in developing countries and it has focused on debates surrounding internationally sponsored research projects and has taken place largely without adequate participation and understanding socio-cultural scenario of the developing countries. There exists certain research gaps in health status, access to healthcare, and quality of care and provision of health related services are increasing in the context of Globalization. In the face of evident disparities between the health status of the “haves and have not”, health professionals in developed countries must consider the impact of such disparities on the ethical manner of health research. This paper tries to investigate how an ethics based on caring and responsibility can guide clinical research in a manner which is consistent with human rights and justice in the face of global disparities. It examines of two paradigms for moral reasoning- the morality of rights and the morality of care with respect to applying the theory of human rights to health. The morality of rights depends on the concept of justice to guide behavior while the morality of care seeks to guide decision making in a way that takes care of others. The Study, examines real world conflicts and mechanisms to resolve moral dilemmas. For instance, it can enhancement the thoughts of justice, protection and benefit to provide ethical guidance in a wide variety of circumstances. Furthermore, it suggests that the integration of a morality of care into the approach to health care research can depend the ethical discourse, micro strategies for research planning and identify that is more approachable to both health disparities and changing needs.
