Veracity- Truth Telling, is deception every justified?
Privacy/Confidentiality, is failure to protect the privacy of the patient every justified?
Differences between obligations for privacy and for confidentiality

Tuskegee Study (1932-1972)Tuskegee Study (1932-1972)
Reasons given for continuing study– Long-term benefits for African-Americans– Contribution to scientific knowledge– Benefits for subjects (would receive other
medical treatment)– Subjects were not harmed– Treatment might harm (Jarische-Herxheimer)– Should not waste data collected
![Page 12: Responsible Conduct in Research](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070408/5681441b550346895db0b69c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tuskegee Study (1932-1972)Tuskegee Study (1932-1972)
Reasons given for not telling subjects the truth:– Subjects incapable of understanding– Scientists better equipped to determine what
would benefit the subjects (paternalism)– Better to sacrifice a few for the greater good of
the whole (utilitarianism)
![Page 13: Responsible Conduct in Research](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070408/5681441b550346895db0b69c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tuskegee Study (1932-1972)Tuskegee Study (1932-1972)
Reasons for breach of veracity tenet continued:– Subjects in the study were better off than those
not selected to participate.– Long-term scientific goals were of greater
importance than rights of an individual (Kant’s Categorical Imperative is breached)
