Biomedical ethics and law research supported by the IAE

The Institute of Applied Ethics provided support for and co-sponsored a workshop/book project titled 'Consent and Beyond' that was held in July of 2005. The project questioned whether consent is always the appropriate regulative strategy for research and whether other moral considerations might be more appropriate. Philip Bielby and John McMillan contributed book chapters to the project.

The IAE has provided research assistance for the following projects:

Phil Bielby: research support in preparing a paper on ethical and conceptual aspects of mental capacity and mental health legislation.

Liz Smith: research support in preparing a paper on the medical, ethical and legal implications of resuscitating seriously handicapped newborns.

Bev Clucas: research support in preparing a paper on the welfare principle and discretion.

Suzanne Uniacke: research support in preparing a paper on ‘All Due Respect’ that she presented as a Royal Institute of Philosophy invited presentation at the University of Keele (March 2005).
