Physician: In order to investigate diseases caused by hormonal imbalances, a certain researcher wants to study, among others, 200 children whose pituitary glands fail to produce typical amounts of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). ███ █████ █████ ███████ █████████████ █ █████████ ███████ ██ ███ ██ ███ ████████ ████ █ ████████ ███████ ███ ███████ ████████ ██████ ██ █████████ ████ ██ ██ ██ ██████ ██ ██████ █████████ ███████████ █████ █ ███████ █████████ ███ ██ █████ ██ ████ ████ █ ███████ ████ ██ ███ █████████ ███ ████████████ ████████ █████ ██████ ██ ███████████
Summary
According to the physician, a proposed study investigating hormone imbalances should be prohibited. This is based on two necessary conditions the physician presents for permitting medical research: 1) it will likely reveal important information and 2) it is known to pose a minimal risk for participants.
Notable Assumptions
The physician presents a rule containing two necessary conditions for permitting medical research. However, we don’t know anything about the proposed study that would trigger the rule (i.e. breach a condition) and thus support the conclusion that the study should be prohibited.
So, we need to affirm that either 1) the study will not likely reveal important information, or 2) it is not known to pose a minimal risk.
