Ethics guidelines for research with the recently dead.

The objective of the multidisciplinary expert Consensus Panel on Research with the Recently Dead (CPRRD) was to craft ethics guidelines for research with the recently dead. The CPRRD recommends that research with the recently dead: (i) receive scientific and ethical review and oversight; (ii) involve the community of potential research subjects; (iii) be coordinated with organ procurement organizations; (iv) not conflict with organ donation or required autopsy; (v) use procedures respectful of the dead; (vi) be restricted to one procedure per day; (vii) preferably be authorized by first-person consent, though both general advance research directives and surrogate consent are acceptable; (viii) protect confidentiality; (ix) not impose costs on subjects' estates or next of kin and not involve payment; (x) clearly explain ultimate disposition of the body.

Gender in bioethics: theory and practice -- an introduction.

Does the care perspective make a difference? Can it reach as far as we would like? It is the goal of this special issue on Gender in Bioethics: Theory and Practice to begin to address some of these important questions. In the first article, Virginia Sharpe provides a comprehensive and thoughtful analysis of how the orientations of justice and care are played out in medical ethical theory. In the second article, James Nelson argues that the more traditional approach in Bioethics to maternal-fetal conflicts is not useful, and that a care perspective is more appropriate. Thoughtful commentary on Nelson's article is provided by Rosemarie Tong. For readers new to the justice-care debate in moral theory, the following articles will provide an informative introduction. For those who are more familiar, it is hoped that you will be challenged by the extension of the debate to the practical issue of maternal-fetal conflicts.
