Bioethics as defined by Merriam-Webster is “a discipline dealing with the ethical implications of biological research and applications especially in medicine” ("Term Definition," 2013). AstraZeneca has a very detailed global policy that covers the aspects of research and development so that the people involved understand the policies and procedures. The global policy covers clinical trial transparency, obtaining informed consent, human embryonic stem cells, genetically modified organisms, and using animals in research studies to name a few. AstraZeneca has created the

Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) are groups that are formally designated by an institution to protect the rights and the welfare of human subjects. This is done by reviewing, approving and monitoring the medical research (Layman & Watzlaf, 2009). However, in order to do this efficiently, there are 3 ethical theories that the IRB must rely on. The first theory is beneficence which means “do no harm/promote good”. The second theory is autonomy, and the third theory is justice. Furthermore, IRBs review all the research that is conducted via data sources regarding human participation (i.e. medical records, tumor registry, and Medicare data). That said, IRBs are important because they help protect the rights and welfare of those participating

The Belmont Report identified three principles essential to the ethical conduct of research with humans:

Continuing the support of the agency National Institutes of Health by its umbrella The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services supports one of the main goals in their strategic plan, Advance Scientific Knowledge and Innovation. "When health is absent Wisdom cannot reveal itself, Art cannot become manifest, Strength cannot be exerted, Wealth is useless and Reason is powerless." (Herophilies, 300 B.C.)

As a committee one of our basic tools of government is federal regulation such as taxing and spending which we use to implement public policy. What does this really mean for the committee in the rulemaking process? All rulemaking begins with an initiating event which established the Statute that we Congress pass. This triggers the draft proposals and the review and approval of the draft. In certain circumstances an agency may issue a final rule without issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking, thereby skipping several steps that would normally be noted for the rulemaking process. There are also some rules that may be published for public comment more than once. We do want to address that independent regulatory agencies are not required to submit their rules to the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for review, and no agency is required to do so for rules that are not considered significant. Attached is the figure that is from the CRS Report for Congress August 28, 2008. This figure describes and address the rulemaking process in a simplistic format this is easy to follow. We are using this as a reference tool to aid in the description of how to work on the implementation of

1. What is the most “jealously” protected kind of speech, according to the court in this case? (3 points)

an action can't be right if the people who are made happy by it are outnumbered by the people who are made unhappy by it.

Peter Crist is almost always correct. The reality is that if someone lies or covers stuff up, most of the time they will be found out eventually be it in two days or in 20 years. However, the reality is that some people do lie and cover stuff up in professional and personal situations and are never exposed. Sometimes this is because they're in a situation where dishonesty is prized, other times it's because the people around them turn a blind eye to what they see because they don't want to know the truth. Other times, it's because the person engaging in the dishonesty is so crafty and so quick that the trickery and subterfuge is almost inscrutable. However, the fact remains that Crist is correct. Often people are found out because those who are engaging in the trickery have so much hubris and so much arrogance that they engage in bolder and bolder moves, believing that they will never be caught. One example of that from the recent past is of Bernie Madoff. His crime was a simple Ponzi scheme which grew larger and larger in size and scale to the point where he couldn't help but be found out. In this case, the fact that Ms. Jones was found out was somewhat expected: she advanced to such a position of power within the institution that she was almost one of their public figures, which meant that her credentials would be under greater scrutiny.

There are many ethical issues in the healthcare field. These issues range from insurance coverage, senior care, childhood immunizations, beneficence, abortion, medicinal marijuana, honesty and medical research (Fritzsche, D., 2004). Today we will discuss the ethical concerns in only one aspect of heath care and that topic is research (Benatar, S., 2000). Medical research is necessary in order to make strides in health care, introduce new medications, to discover new symptoms and disorders and to test new treatment options for current medical problems. Students of medicine, universities and pharmaceutical companies conduct this research primarily. Much of this research is time consuming and costly, therefore obtaining funding is not

1. Consequentialist moral theories see the moral rightness or wrongness of actions as a function of their results. If the consequences are sufficiently good, the action is right; if they are sufficiently bad, the action is wrong. However, nonconsequentialist theories see other factors as also relevant to the determination of right and wrong.

1. The Sales Rep. A sales representative for a struggling computer supply firm has a chance to close a multimillion-dollar deal for an office system to be installed over a two-year period. The machines for the first delivery are in the company’s warehouse, but the remainder would have to be ordered from the manufacturer. Because the manufacturer is having difficulty meeting the heavy demand for the popular model, the sales representative is not sure that the subsequent deliveries can be made on time. Any delay in converting to the new system would be costly to the customer; however, the blame could be placed on the manufacturer. Should the sales representative close the deal without advising the customer
