Science And The Swastika Summary

1246 Words5 Pages

The video Science and the Swastika: The deadly Experiment was about the experimentation in Germany during World War II. This video was showing how the gas chambers started when Hitler executed disabled citizen. Hitler stated that the disabled were suffering and had no use in society. Once the gas chambers were shut down in August 1941, Hitler moved experimentation to the concentration camps. They experimented on women to sterilize them and test how to make the perfect race, called the Aryan race. The Aryan race consisted blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. They also experimented on twins, Doctor Mengele in particular preformed these (David DM, 2013). This video extremely shocked me. I feel that the subjects were treated terrible. The researches …show more content…

The researchers were more of the observers of the experiments. The nurses were the ones who watched over participants. They were also the ones that did the euthanasia in the disability schools (David DM, 2013). I feel that the nurses were just following orders, but I feel that they had a big role in the experimentation. They were watching over patients while they were being killed, cut open, and tortured. Nurses are supposed to be patient advocates. The nurses should have stood up for the rights of their patients. Even though nurses had a big role in the experimentation, I also feel that it wasn’t all on them. I feel that nurses weren’t seen as important in this time period. So, the nurses knew that if they spoke up against a researcher they risked getting in trouble or being killed. This video influenced my future role as a nurse researchers. I definitely would like to be part of the research field someday, even if it is just helping a researcher. This video showed me exactly what unethical research is. Unethical researcher is when participants are misled or deceived about the experiment, when the participants are hurt or killed, and when consent is not taken. This video influenced me to encourage others and myself to be a good patient

Kuhse's Dilemma Case

and Michael Q., I strongly believe that Nurse L. was not acting immorally or unprofessionally. I agree with Immanuel Kant’s summarization, “All lies, including those told out of altruistic motives, are wrong.” Michael’s oncologist withheld crucial medical information and alternative treatment options. Had Michael not known about at all his options, his circumstances could have turned out extremely different. Unless Michael had the inability to make his own rational decisions or there was no one to assist him in making the decisions for him where he could not, there were no reasons for the oncologist to withhold information and make the final decision that treatment was the best option for

Summary Of The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lack

1835 Words | 8 Pages

“The Article Exploitation of prisoners in clinical research: perceptions of study participants” written by Paul Christopher states “Given the history of and continued potential for prisoner exploitation, biomedical research should be permitted only if there is a strongly favorable benefit-risk ratio for the prisoner.” Even though Henrietta Lacks was not in a clinical trial she did not receive all the information from her Doctors which led to her downfall. This lack of information not only hurt her but it also hurt her family. The worst part yet Henrietta and her family were not the only ones who were lied to because Chester Southam not only used prisoners for research but he used hospitalized people. He told the patients that he was checking their immune system when in fact he was injecting them with HeLa cells.

The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks By Rebecca Skloot

1459 Words | 6 Pages

Patient care is based around the individual- their best interest, treatment, and health concerns. Research is based around furthering knowledge within the medical world, by testing on people, and improving lives for future patients. In Henrietta’s case, she went to John Hopkins with the plan of being treated as a patient only, and was used for research, without education or consent. Making only a small effort to relieve her pain through radiation treatment, the physicians removed cells from Henrietta’s cervix to use in later studies. There is another line blurred, as Spigner, a University of Washington professor makes a point, stating, “The life and death of Henrietta Lacks is a cautionary tale that reflects the inherent contradiction between the stated purpose of medical research to provide benefit to humankind and the reality of blatant profiteering in the name of the advancement of science” (12).

Henrietta Lacks Informed Consent

948 Words | 4 Pages

In this case, the informed consent of the subjects was not fully attained as researchers used misinformation to encourage participation in otherwise detrimental studies. In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, author Rebecca Skloot references a similar case in which a researcher named Chester Southam injected prisoners with cancer cells. Like researchers in the Tuskegee experiments, Southam did not thoroughly explain his research “[as] patients might have refused to participate in his study if they’d known what he was injecting” (Skloot 13). In addition to promoting ethical research, informed consent strengthens the trust between researchers and donors. When researchers seek permission before experimenting on biospecimen, they remain trustable figures to donors.

One mistake can be caught on camera by those who are distrustful of nurses.
