在进行临床研究时,对人的尊重的要求往往被简化为对自主权的尊重。本文从日常语言中的“敬”的用法出发,重新审视“敬人”这一概念。我认为,尊重人的方式有很多,尊重人的核心要素是:欣赏一个人的价值或重要性,认识到这种价值对自己行为的限制或要求,并以表达这种承认的方式行事。因此,除了自主能动性之外,尊重还要求注意重要的主观经验、个人作为共同体的一部分的存在以及对行为举止的考虑。这个帐户具有重要的意义进行临床研究的人谁是自主的,以及与那些谁不是。然而,它对这两个群体的影响是不同的,特别是在对福祉的关切方面。
The demands of respect for persons when conducting clinical research are often reduced to respect for autonomy. In this paper, I re-examine the concept of respect for persons in light of important intuitions from our ordinary language usage of respect. I propose that there are many ways to respect persons as persons and that the core elements of respect for persons are: appreciating what is valuable or important about a person, recognizing the constraints or demands that such a valuation places on one's own conduct, and acting in a way that expresses that recognition. On this account, in addition to autonomous agency, respect demands attention to important subjective experiences, persons' existence as part of communities, and considerations of comportment. This account has important implications for the conduct of clinical research with persons who are autonomous as well as with those who are not. Its implications, however, are different for these two populations, particularly with regard to concerns about well-being.
