The Alleged Ethical Violations of Elizabeth Loftus in the Case of Jane Doe
http://members.aol.com/smartnews/Loftus_Ethics.htm
"I believe Loftus made several ethical breaches during her research and when publishing her study. The right to freedom of speech and academic debate does not allow for the kind of ethical breaches that were made. The violating of Jane Doe's confidentiality without her written consent around such a sensitive issue appears to have been unnecessary and inappropriate. Loftus' case study will not save anyone's life. Corwin's case study may be used in court, but defense attorneys always have the opportunity to bring many other studies and additional physical evidence to a trial. Furthermore, discussing such a sensitive issue publicly without a person's consent appears to be extremely insensitive. There may have been other ways to contradict Corwin's case study that would not have necessitated publishing extremely personal details about Jane without her permission. The fact that Jane neither was fully informed of the research, nor did she give consent to Loftus' research, shows that Loftus' may have violated the Nuremberg Code of ethics about informed consent. The hazards and inconveniences the research caused Jane were not well mediated. Loftus admits having a dual relationship with Jane's mother. This shows poor judgement on her part. Her reason of wanting to unite the mother with Jane is not strong enough to make up for the possible damage that could have been done due to her dual relationship with the mother. A referral to a more appropriate psychologist would have been more in order. This dual relationship may have also destroyed Loftus' impartiality in the case, possibly further weakening her research. It appears that getting the information out and fighting the cause were more important to Loftus than the people involved in the research. In a sense, the ends justified the means. Ethical principles can never be fulfilled in this way."

MDs complicit in Iraq prison abuses: report
British study outlines role of doctors and medics in interrogations
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON - Doctors working for the U.S. military in Iraq collaborated with interrogators in the abuse of detainees at Baghdad's Abu Ghraib prison, profoundly breaching medical ethics and human rights, a bioethicist alleges in the Lancet medical journal. In a scathing analysis of the behaviour of military doctors, nurses and medics, University of Minnesota professor Steven Miles calls for a reform of military medicine and an official investigation into the role played by physicians and other medical staff in the torture scandal.
He cites evidence that doctors or medics falsified death certificates to cover up homicides, hid evidence of beatings and revived a prisoner so he could be further tortured. No reports of abuses were initiated by medical personnel until the official investigation into Abu Ghraib began, he found.
"The medical system collaborated with designing and implementing psychologically and physically coercive interrogations," Miles said in this week's edition of Lancet. "Army officials stated that a physician and a psychiatrist helped design, approve and monitor interrogations at Abu Ghraib."

Khadr tells of torture by U.S. soldiers
ANDREW MILLS
STAFF REPORTER
Detained in an Afghan prison, Abdurahman Khadr says U.S. soldiers stripped him naked and repeatedly photographed his genitals. On the 17-hour flight to Guantanamo Bay, he was in such pain â shackled to the floor of a plane â he just wanted the soldiers to shoot him dead.
And at the military prison, he stood by as prisoners were compelled to talk by depriving them of sleep, placing them in smoke-filled rooms or smothering their faces with feces.
Khadr's testimony in a federal court hearing last month reveals, in detail, the conditions that he and other prisoners faced after their capture in Afghanistan and upon transfer to the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
