The Ethics of Medical Treatment: Voluntary Choice or Forced Experimentation?

Doki Doki27 aug. 2023 – 14:39

I’m always amazed how people keep going despite everything and then I wonder why, but then I realize they don’t have a choice. It is nice that there are more and more developments in the medical field, but whether you want to undergo treatment or not should be a voluntary choice of the patient. If no other options are offered, then a person is, as it were, forced to undergo the treatment and then a person is like a kind of laboratory animal. There is no quality of life, but you have to keep going so treatments can be tested on you. Fine, if you want to, but not if you don’t.

To be able to participate in this type of research, and thus to become a laboratory animal, you must volunteer yourself. And then the only question is whether you will be selected. So nothing compulsory treatment and forced treatment. Do not know which hospital you normally visit if necessary. Even in academic hospitals where research, new techniques and medical students are the norm, nothing is mandatory.

Yes, but how voluntary is that, as a layman you go by what your doctor tells you, so it is quite possible that he will talk you into a treatment that is not necessary out of your own interest. That happens quite often in regular healthcare, as I read yesterday in an article by a retired doctor / professor, who has written a book about how incredibly rotten our healthcare system is. Because those doctors are not employed, but simply have to run production to earn money. See the interview here (note: paywall)
