The Méditerranée Infection Foundation's primary goal is supporting a research hospital for the treatment of infectious diseases in Marseille. The main objective of this innovative center is to understand the mechanisms of contagion and face them. The Foundation will include a committee on moral philosophy that will accompany and supervise biomedical research. This is not a conventional ethics committee, frequently giving rise to a board's bureaucratic excesses, which might slow down creative biomedical clinical research without necessarily restricting abuses. Moral philosophy, however, can handle contemporary biomedical issues. In all its diversity, this discipline is able to enrich the debate on medical issues, thanks to many philosophical currents such as deontological ethics and consequentialism. The purpose of this committee is therefore to advance reflection on the bioethical issues encountered in biomedical research in infectious diseases, while respecting the precepts of moral philosophy.
地中海感染基金会的主要目标是支持马赛的一家传染病治疗研究医院。该创新中心的主要目标是了解传染机制并应对这些机制。该基金会将包括一个道德哲学委员会,该委员会将为生物医学研究提供指导和监督。这不是一个传统的伦理委员会,它经常导致委员会的官僚主义过度,这可能会减缓创造性的生物医学临床研究,而不一定会限制滥用。然而,道德哲学可以处理当代的生物医学问题。通过各种哲学流派,如义务论伦理学和后果主义,这门学科能够丰富医学问题的辩论。因此,该委员会的目的是在尊重道德哲学原则的前提下,推进对传染病领域生物医学研究中遇到的生物伦理问题的思考。
