ETHICAL AND LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE USE OF THE DEAD HUMAN BODY FOR TEACHING AND SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES

Revista română de bioetică (2013)

Silviu Morar Dan Perju Dumbravă Adrian Cristian

This paper emphasizes the social (both medical and legal) usefulness of human body’s autopsy and dissection, revealing the specific forms in which the body of the deceased person can be used for teaching and scientific purposes. A distinct section deals with the moral-ethical value we place on the cadaver, pointing out the reasons for which a respectful attitude towards the dead human body is required. We also analyze on one hand, the potential ethical conflict between the need of invasive maneuvers like autopsy/dissection and, on the other hand, the right to physical integrity of each individual (including the deceased person). In this respect, we also address the legal and deontological aspects of autopsy (legal compulsoriness, confidentiality, professional secret, breach of confidentiality, ethical implications of related teaching activities) and those of dissection (legal ways of body procurement - with emphasis on autonomy and substitute decision-making in this domain, the fact that voluntary bequest of one’s body is morally preferable to the use of unclaimed bodies, respectful treatment of the cadaver during dissection, the need to show final respect towards the body remains - in the form of appropriate funeral services).

Ethical issues in research on human beings with Alzheimer disease

Revista română de bioetică (2006)

Dan Perju Dumbravă

The experimentation involving persons with mental or behavioral disorders hold a special place in the arena of medical general research for two reasons: first, neuropsychological processes are still poorly understood and second, their scrutiny upon mentally ill patients raise many ethical dilemmas. Alzheimer's disease is a disorder affecting millions of patients worldwide and their families as well. It is a disease that inexorably diminishes and ultimately destroys the ability of individuals to comprehend their condition and survive in their prior environment. This paper analyses some of the principal ethical issues raised by the participation of the patients affected by this devastating disease in biomedical research.
