Item Accountability for Reasonableness, for Priority Setting and Resource Allocation: A Case Scenario.(2015) Rafique, ZohebABSTRACT: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the accountability for reasonableness and its four conditions. This explains the priority setting and resource allocation for scarce resources. In this article it is discussed that how the scarce resources in a developing country like Pakistan be allocated in health care. This is explained with the help of case scenario.Item Administrator BanglaJOL(2014) Bangladesh Journal of Bioethics.Item Animal Research In Diabetes And Ethical Consideration.(2010) Lasker, Shamima Parvin; Raihan, RishadResearch must have a clear statement that is the hypothesis. This hypothesis may involve a clinical question or pathophysiologic mechanism that cannot be tested ethically or appropriately using human subjects or alternative methods. Therefore, numerous animal models have been developed that mimic to human diabetes. They provide additional knowledge about and insight into disease processes and hopefully better methods for treatment or prevention of diabetes in humans. All scientific research involving the use of animals should begin with an ethical focus by examining the risk-benefit ratio (i.e., morbidity or mortality to the animal versus the potential importance of the knowledge acquired). The aim of this paper is to discuss these ethical aspects within the context of research on diabetes and form a framework for the decision-making process.Item Animal Rights and Use of Animals in Biomedical Research.(2015) Rafique, ZohebAbstract: Experiments on animals have always been considered as necessary for scientific research, both fundamental and applied. In addition to scientific suitability criteria, this practice also must be justified from a moral point of view. This concern arises from the demand of our civilization that a certain moral value be recognized to animals. In this paper it is discussed in detail that how animals should be handled while doing research and what are animal rights and their uses in biomedical research.Item The Bangladesh Midwifery Programme – a giant step towards Safe Motherhood.(2014) Ahmed, TaheraItem BBS News Vol.3(3).(2012) Lasker, ShamimaItem BBS News Vol.4(1).(2013) Bangladesh Journal of BioethicsItem BBS News Vol.4(3).(2013) Editor, TheItem BBS News Vol.5(1)(2014) Bangladesh Journal of Bioethics.Item BBS News Vol.5(2).(2014) Lasker, Shamima ParvinItem BBS’s News.(2015) Lasker, Shamima ParvinItem Bioethics and Patent Law: USA, UK and India. A Bibliometric Analysis.(2013) Gupta, Mona; Srivastava, Divya; Kushwah, Arvind SinghAbstract: This article discusses the view of bioethics in terms of “need of ressearch” and gives more weight to various cultural traditions and their respective moral beliefs. It is argued that this view is implausible for the following three reasons: it renders the disciplinary boundaries of bioethics too flexible and inconsistent with metaphysical commitments of biomedical sciences, it is normatively useless because it approaches cultural phenomena in a predominantly descriptive and selective way, and it tends to justify certain types of discrimination. Compromise on moral matters attracts ambivalent reactions, since it seems at once laudable and deplorable. When a hotly-contested phenomenon like assisted dying is debated, all-or-nothing positions tend to be advanced, with little thought given to the desirability of, or prospects for, compromise. In order to qualify as appropriately principled, the ensuing negotiations require disputants to observe three constraints: they should be suitably reflective, reliable and respectful in their dealings with one another. The product that will result from such a process will also need to split the difference between the warring parties. In assisted dying, I argue that a reduced offence of 'compassionate killing' can achieve this. Clinical research is revolutionizing the practice of medicine in an unprecedented way. Some current legal and ethical concerns evolving from this revolution are addressed, pointing to the emerging concepts in jurisprudence, which regards medical research as an important contribution to patient empowerment, to medical risk management and in managing the resources of a national health system. While bioethics as a field has concerned itself with methodological issues since the early years, there has been no systematic examination of how ethics is incorporated into research on the ethical, legal and social implications. We aim of better understanding the methods, aims, and approaches to ethics that its researchers employ. We found that the aims of ethics are largely prescriptive and address multiple groups. This is a life concern issue. It is an important issue for researchers, teachers as well as for student. This articles main aim is to provide systematic outline of the complex relationship between bioethics and patent between India, USA and UK. This study suggests that trusting relationships may be more conducive than any particular discussion strategy to facilitating doctor-patient discussions of health care costs. Better public understanding of how medical decisions affect insurer costs and how such costs ultimately affect patients personally will be necessary if discussions about insurer costs are to occur in the clinical encounter. It will give an overview of the bioethics and Patent. The literature survey has indicated that there is no comprehensive work has been done by any researcher on this topic. Therefore the present study would concentrate on the work being carried out by Indian, USA and UK R & D scientists vis-a-vis Global researchers. Studies aims to map basic human needs such as human health, food and a safe environment, touches on fundamental values, such as human dignity and the genetic integrity of humanity, can raise human rights issues such as access to health and benefits from scientific progress, raises concerns over equitable access to the fruits of new technologies, the consent of those involved in research, and protection of the environment and compare these among India, USA and UK. The research map out many issues and policy communities, but main aspect is the ethical implications of protecting biotechnological inventions through the intellectual property (IP) system. A Bioethicist assists the health care and research community in examining moral issues involved in our understanding of life and death, and resolving ethical dilemmas in medicine and science. This research provides a systematic outline of the complex relationship between bioethics and IP. It will give an overview of bioethics. It sketches core principles in the interaction of IP and bioethics among these three countries. The basic data for the bibliometric analysis has been collected from SCI and for mapping different parameters suitable analytical software eg. SPSS, BibTech Mon is used. The analysis arises questions such as: Does India do enough work in this field. Which country is fastest growth among these.Item Bioethics in Bangladesh.(2010) Begum, HasnaItem Bioethics in Biotechnology - Bangladesh perspective.(2010) Sarker, R HItem Bioethics Teaching and Assessment: My Experience of Three Institutes.(2014) Rafique, ZohebAbstract: This paper describes my experience of teaching bioethics in different institutes and degree courses at undergraduate level. Bioethics is being taught to improve the understanding of the ethical issues in the field of medicine. The students are being trained in bioethics to recognize and resolve different ethical dilemmas and also to combat the situations where ethical analysis is needed. This paper also focuses on teaching and assessment methods for undergraduate courses.Item Bioethics: Awakening And Changing Of Human Life.(2010) Ferdousshi BegumItem Biomedical Consideration in the Manufacture, Clinical Trial and Bioequivalence Studies of Pharmaceuticals.(2011) Faroque, A B MABSTRACT: Bangladesh pharmaceutical sector has been growing at a remarkable speed since 1982. From the meager 30% national market share, now it is supplying 97% of our annual demand. Around 1,100 generics are now available in a total of around 12,000 trade name products. The national market size has crossed 6,000 crore taka per annum, where the local multinational share is only 7%. Our industries are now exporting drugs to 72 countries. But just because our pharmaceutical sector has developed its own backbone does not meant that our pharmaceutical industries have solved the relevant bioethical questions. There are complaints that some companies do not pursue necessary bioethical norm as at various levels of its manufacturing processes. Still a good number of small companies sell sub-standard and counterfeit drugs, and yet some are not following accepted GMP standards. Moreover, for capturing foreign markets we need clinical trials and bioequivalence study results. These study needs human subjects as volunteers. In a poverty-stricken country like us, if we do not establish these clinical trial and bioequivalence norms, everything becomes irrelevant. If we can establish theses norms, this could be the beginning of a new era for further growth of our pharmaceutical industries vis-à-vis our public health national economy.Item Breach of confidentiality: unintentional common practice due to misunderstanding and unawareness.(2011) Khan, Mohammad WaseemAbstract: Advancement in medical technology has helped man kind in several ways and no one can deny the contribution of medical technology in the field of medicine. On the other hand technology has also given rise to some ethical issues. The issue of confidentiality is one of those issues. Patients keeping their trust on physician reveals all concerned confidential information to their physician with surety that physician will not reveal it to other person and will keep it confidential. It has been common in practice that, physicians unintentionally breach their patient’s confidentiality by discussing cases and history of their patients in public places, hospital elevators, and with their students. In a busy hospital setting it can be difficult to maintain confidentiality for patients. Increasing workloads lead to discussions of patients in public areas which is not an acceptable excuse. The very next person present there listening the discussion could be a patient's friend, relative, or media member that is not entitled to this privileged information. In all these cases permission must be received from the patient prior to any disclosure.Item Breast cancer with pregnancy in cross cultural setting.(2012) Lasker, Shamima PItem Challenge of 21st Century to integrate the reproductive technologies concerning the beginning of human life.(2012) Lasker, Shamima Parvin
