The calls for health research to be collaborative are ubiquitous-even as part of a recent World Health Assembly resolution on clinical trials-yet the arguments in support of collaborative research have been taken for granted and are absent in the literature. This article provides three arguments to justify why health research ought to be collaborative and discusses trade-offs to be considered among the ethical values guiding each argument.
呼吁健康研究开展合作的声音无处不在——即便这是最近世界卫生大会一项关于临床试验的决议的一部分——然而,支持合作研究的论据却被视为理所当然,且在文献中并未出现。本文提出了三个论据来证明健康研究为何应该开展合作,并讨论了在指导每个论据的伦理价值之间需要权衡的问题。
