The question of whether or not children may be used as subjects in non-therapeutic research projects has generated a great deal of debate and received answers varying from 'no, never' to 'yes, if societal interests are served'. It has been claimed that a Kantian, deontological ethics would necessarily rule out such research, since valid consent would be impossible. The present paper gives a deontological argument for allowing children to be subjects in certain types of research.
儿童是否可以被用作非治疗性研究项目的受试者这一问题引发了大量争论,得到的答案从“不,绝对不行”到“可以,如果符合社会利益”不等。有人认为,康德式的道义论伦理学必然会排除此类研究,因为不可能获得有效的同意。本文给出了一个道义论观点,支持允许儿童成为某些类型研究的受试者。
