L’utilité de ce genre d’institutions est incontestable. Car le monde moderne est sans cesse confronté à des innovations, médicales ou autres, qui s’appliquent à l’homme ou à son environnement proche. Ce lieu est donc nécessaire pour préparer la matière intellectuelle qui sera ensuite transférée aux citoyens afin que ceux- ci puissent se prononcer quant à la légitimité de ces innovations.

Bioéthique, éthique, Philosophie
Kirstin Borgerson has a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Toronto and was a Killam Postdoctoral Fellow at Dalhousie University. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS, Canada. She researches and teaches in philosophy of medicine and is particularly interested in questions raised at the intersection of medical epistemology and medical ethics.

The focus of her stay at the Brocher Foundation is a joint project with Dr. Robyn Bluhm, entitled “Why Clinical Integration Matters: Rethinking the Ethical Framework for Medical Research.” Bioethicists have tended to accept the view that there is a “bright line” separating clinical research from clinical practice, and that, as a result, the ethical obligations associated with the two activities are distinct. Recently, however, bioethicists have begun to recognize that this sharp distinction is untenable and have proposed an integrated ethical framework for clinical research and practice. Missing from this emerging discussion is recognition of the epistemological reasons for better integrating research and practice; this project aims to supply this missing piece, and in doing so to help solve one of the principal problems encountered by the new approach: figuring out how it might be implemented.
