The 1000th Thread!

This is the 1000th presentation to my bioethics blog since starting on Google Blogspot.com in 2004.

There has been many topics covered. Though comments by the visitors has always been encouraged and, since as a "discussion blog", comments leading to discussions I have felt was the definitive function here. Virtually none of the thread topics have gone unread and most have had some commentary, some with mainly particularly strong and emphatic opinions http://bioethicsdiscussion.blogspot.com/2013/01/should-pathologists-be-physicians.html, some with extensive up to 12 years long continued discussion http://bioethicsdiscussion.blogspot.com/2017/10/patient-modesty-volume-82.html, still there have been some with no visitor response http://bioethicsdiscussion.blogspot.com/2005/01/public-good-vs-money-in-pockets-or.html. It is interesting to understand why such differences have occurred.

Though most of the topics were bioethics as related to the subject of medical care, an occasional topic was related to plants http://bioethicsdiscussion.blogspot.com/2014/06/can-tree-experience-hurt-if-it-can-do.html and animals  http://bioethicsdiscussion.blogspot.com/2012/04/spending-lot-of-money-on-your-sick-dog.html.

Nevertheless, it is the multitude of issues regarding human medical ethics which has dominated this blog.  In  my opinion, a great listing and summarization of those issues was and is being presented by Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_ethics_cases and is reproduced below (courtesy of published permission for reproduction by Wikimedia).

I want, in this 1000th thread posting, to thank all those who have participated to, by their comments and input made this blog more interesting and dynamic than if my thoughts were simply just a "list". It is the "back and forth" of  discussion which makes a commentary written by one person something dynamic and much more useful and of value.   Best wishes to all and a happy upcoming New Year.  ..Maurice.  Graphic: Use of Picasa 3

case	country	location	year	summary
Psychosurgery			1880s	Psychosurgery (also called neurosurgery for mental disorder) has a long history. During the 1960s and 1970s, it became the subject of increasing public concern and debate, culminating in the US with congressional hearings. Particularly controversial was the work of Harvard neurosurgeon Vernon Markand psychiatrist Frank Ervin, who wrote a book entitled Violence and the Brain in 1970.[1] The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research in 1977 endorsed the continued limited use of psychosurgical procedures.[1][2]Since then, a few facilities in some countries have continued to use psychosurgery on small numbers of patients. In the US and other Western countries, the number of operations has further declined over the past 30 years, a period during which there have been no major advances in ablative psychosurgery.[3]
Surgical removal of body parts to try to improve mental health	United States	New Jersey	1920s	Controversial psychiatrist Henry Cotton at Trenton State Hospital in New Jersey became convinced that insanity was fundamentally a toxic disorder and he surgically removed body parts to try to improve mental health.[4]
The Monster Study	United States	Iowa	1939	The Monster Study is the name given to a stuttering experiment performed on orphan children in Davenport, Iowa in 1939. It was conducted by Wendell Johnson at the University of Iowa. The research began with the selection of 22 subjects from a veterans' orphanage in Iowa. None were told the intent of the research, and they believed that they were to receive speech therapy. The study was trying to induce stuttering in healthy children. The experiment became national news in the San Jose Mercury News in 2001, and a book was written. On 17 August 2007, six of the orphan children were awarded $925,000 by the State of Iowa for lifelong psychological and emotional scars caused by six months of torment during the Iowa University experiment. Although none of the children became stutterers, some became self-conscious and reluctant to speak.[5] A spokesman for the University of Iowa called the experiment "regrettable".
Medical Experimentation on Black Americans[6]	United States	Various	Occurred over many decades	There has been a long history of medical experimentation on African Americans. From the era of slavery, when atrocities were committed on black women by J. Marion Sims, to the present day, Black Americans have been unwitting subjects of medical experimentation.[7][8] Author Harriet Washington argues that "diverse forms of racial discrimination have shaped both the relationship between white physicians and black patients and the attitude of the latter towards modern medicine in general".[9] In the 1960s, Ionia State Hospital, located in Ionia, Michigan, was one of America's largest and most notorious state psychiatric hospitalsin the era before deinstitutionalization. Doctors at this hospital diagnosed African Americanswith schizophrenia because of their civil rightsideas. See The Protest Psychosis.
Plutonium injections	United States		1945-1947	Eighteen people were injected with plutoniumby Manhattan Project doctors. None of the patients was told what was going on, and the doctors did not ask for their consent. See Eileen Welsome's book The Plutonium Files.[10]
Doctors' Trial	United States		1946	German medical doctors went on criminal trial for Nazi human experimentation. See The Years of Extermination.
Guatemala syphilis experiments	U.S./ Guatemala		1946-48	The syphilis experiments in Guatemala were United States human experiments conducted in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948. The experiments were led by physician John Charles Cutler. They were done during the administration of American President Harry S. Truman and Guatemalan President Juan José Arévalo.[11] Doctors infected soldiers, prostitutes, prisoners, and mental patients with syphilisand other sexually transmitted diseaseswithout the informed consent of the subjects, and treated most subjects with antibiotics. This resulted in at least 83 deaths.[12] In October 2010, the US formally apologized to Guatemala for conducting these experiments.
Skid Row Cancer Study	United States	New York State	1950s	More than 1200 homeless men from Lower Manhattan were convinced with promises of food and shelter to have their prostates biopsied by a Dr. Perry Hudson. They were not informed of possible side effects, i.e., rectal tearing and impotence. The homeless were targeted for these biopsies because the biopsies were painful and untested, and less vulnerable populations would not volunteer.
Radioactive iodine experiments	United States		1950s	The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission has a history of involvement in experiments involving radioactive iodine. In a 1949 operation called the "Green Run," the AEC released iodine-131and xenon-133 to the atmosphere, which contaminated a 500,000-acre (2,000 km2) area containing three small towns near the Hanford site in Washington.[13] In 1953, the AEC ran several studies on the health effects of radioactive iodine in newborns and pregnant women at the University of Iowa. Also in 1953, the AEC sponsored a study to discover if radioactive iodine affected premature babies differently from full-term babies.[14] In another AEC study, researchers at the University of Nebraska College of Medicine fed iodine-131 to 28 healthy infants through a gastric tube to test the concentration of iodine in the infants' thyroid glands.[14]
Henrietta Lacks	United States	Baltimore	1951	A product derived from a cancer patient's specimen, HeLa is the cornerstone of an industry. Cancerous tissue was taken from her without her consent.
Albert Kligman's dermatology experiments	United States	Philadelphia	1951-1974	Clinical non-therapeutic medical experiments on prison inmates was conducted at Holmesburg Prison in Philadelphia from 1951 to 1974 under the direction of dermatologistAlbert Kligman.[15]
Allan Memorial Institute	Canada	Montreal, Quebec	1957–1964	The Allan Memorial Institute is known for its role in the Project MKULTRA run by the CIA. The Agency's initiative to develop drug-induced "mind control" techniques was implemented in the institute by its then-Director Donald Ewen Cameron.
UK mental institutions	UK		1960s	In the 1960s, there was abuse and inhumane treatment of psychiatric patients who were hidden away in institutions in the UK. Barbara Robb documented her difficult personal experience of being treated at Ely Hospital. She wrote the book Sans Everything and she used this to launch a campaign to improve or close long stay facilities. Shortly after, a long stay hospital for the mentally handicapped in Cardiff was exposed by a nurse writing to the News of the World. This exposure prompted an official inquiry, which was highly critical of conditions, staff morale, and management. At the same time Michael Ignatieff and Peter Townsend both published books which exposed the poor quality of institutional care.[16]
Milgram experiment	United States		1961	The Milgram experiment on obedience to authority figures was a series of notable social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram, which measured the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts that conflicted with their personal conscience.[17] The detailed findings are discussed in his 1974 book, Obedience to Authority: An Experimental View.[18] The experiments were controversial, and considered by some scientists to be unethical and physically or psychologically abusive. Psychologist Diana Baumrind considered the experiment "harmful because it may cause permanent psychological damage and cause people to be less trusting in the future." [19]
Harry Bailey's deep sleep therapy	Australia	Sydney	1962-1979	Controversial Australian psychiatrist Harry Bailey treated mental patients via deep sleep therapy and other methods at a Sydney mental hospital. He has been linked with the deaths of 85 patients.[20] He committed suicide before he could be punished.
Political abuse of psychiatry	Soviet Union, Romania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and China		1960s to 1980s	Psychiatrists have been involved in human rights abuses in states across the world when the definitions of mental disease were expanded to include political disobedience.[21]:6 In the period from the 1960s to 1986, abuse of psychiatry for political purposes was reported to be systematic in the Soviet Union and other Eastern European countries.[22]:66 Political abuse of psychiatry also takes place in the People's Republic of China.[23] Psychiatric diagnoses such as the diagnosis of "sluggish schizophrenia" in political dissidents in the USSR were used for political purposes.[24]:77
Stanford prison experiment	United States		1971	The Stanford prison experiment was a study of the psychological effects of becoming a prisoner or prison guard. The experiment was conducted in August 1971 by a team of researchers led by psychology professor Philip Zimbardo.[25] Participants took on the roles of prisoners and guards in a mock prison situated in the basement of the Stanford psychology building. Some of the prisoners were subjected to psychological torture. Many of the prisoners passively accepted psychological abuse, and Zimbardo himself permitted the abuse to continue. Two of the prisoners quit the experiment early and the entire experiment was abruptly stopped after only six days. Certain portions of the experiment were filmed and excerpts of footage are publicly available.
Human radiation experiments	United States		1970s	Human radiation experiments were directed by the United States Atomic Energy Commissionand the Manhattan Project. In Nashville, pregnant women were given radioactive mixtures. In Cincinnati, some 200 patients were irradiated over a period of 15 years. In Chicago, 102 people received injections of strontium and cesium solutions. In Massachusetts, 74 schoolboys were fed oatmeal that contained radioactive substances. In all of these cases, the subjects did not know what was going on and did not give informed consent.[10] The government covered up most of these radiation mishaps until 1993, when President Bill Clinton ordered a change of policy. The resulting investigation was undertaken by the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments. See The Plutonium Files.
Tuskegee syphilis experiment	United States	Tuskegee, Alabama	1972	A 40-year experiment conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service withheld standard medical advice and treatment from a poor minority population with an easily treatable disease. The experiment targeted black male farmers who were told they needed to be treated for 'bad blood',[26] some of whom had previously encountered syphilis. Others were intentionally given syphilis during the course of the experiment. In addition to many fatalities, some children were born with congenital syphilis due to the study.
Moore v. Regents of the University of California	United States	California	1976	Researchers commercialized a patient's discarded body parts. The man did not authorize the use of his bodily tissues or fluids, and researchers did not obtain informed consent. He did not want his donation to generate commercial profit for private entities.
Eugene Landy	United States	California	1980s	Eugene Ellsworth Landy was an American psychologist and psychotherapist best known for his unconventional 24-hour therapy as well as ethical violations concerning his treatment of Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson in the 1980s. In 2015, Landy's relationship with Wilson was dramatized in the biographical filmLove & Mercy.
Willowbrook State School	United States	Staten Island	1987	A school had been infecting disabled children in experiments for years.
Study 329	Canada, United States	12 psychiatric centers	1994–2001	SmithKlineBeecham, known since 2000 as GlaxoSmithKline, conducted a clinical trial from 1994 to 1997 in 12 pychiatric centers in North America to study the efficacy of paroxetine(Paxil, Seroxat), an anti-depressant, on teenagers. The trial data suggested that the drug was not efficacious and that the paroxetine group were more likely to think about suicide. The paper that wrote up the study was published in 2001, osensibly authored by a group of academics, but actually ghostwritten by the drug company. The article downplayed the negative findings and concluded that paroxetine helped with teenage depression. The company used this paper to promote paroxetine for teenagers. The ensuing controversy led to several lawsuits, including from the parents of teenagers who killed themselves while taking the drug, and intensified the debate about medical ghostwriting and conflict of interest in clinical trials. In 2012 the US Justice Department fined GlaxoSmithKline $3 billion for several violations, including withholding data on paroxetine, unlawfully promoting it for adolescents, and preparing a misleading article about study 329. New Scientist wrote in 2015: "You may never have heard of it, but Study 329 changed medicine."[27]
Death associated with psychotropic drugs	United States	Cheyenne, Wyoming	1998	In 1998, 60-year-old Donald Schell went to see his doctor complaining of difficulty sleeping. He was diagnosed with an anxiety state and placed on Paxil, an SSRI anti-depressant. Within 48 hours of being put on Paxil Schell killed his wife, daughter, infant granddaughter, and himself. Tim Tobin, Schell’s son-in-law, took legal action against SmithKline (now GlaxoSmithKline). The Tobin case was heard in Wyoming from May 21 to June 6, 2001. The jury returned a guilty verdict against SmithKline and awarded Tobin $6.4 million.[28][29][30][31]This was the first guilty verdict returned against a pharmaceutical company regarding adverse behavioral effects of a psychotropic drug.[28]
Robert Courtney	United States	Kansas City, Missouri	2002	Courtney is a former pharmacist who owned and operated Research Medical Tower Pharmacy in Missouri.[32] In 2002, he was convicted of pharmaceutical fraud and sentenced to federal prison.[32]
Greenberg v. Miami Children's Hospital Research Institute	United States	Florida	2003	Patients donated tissue samples, which researchers subsequently used in a plan to generate profit.
GlaxoSmithKlinehuman experiments	Various		2004–2012	In 2004 GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) sponsored at least four medical trials using Hispanic and black children at New York's Incarnation Children's Center. Normally trials on children require parental consent but, as the infants were in care, New York's authorities held that role. Experiments were designed to test the “safety and tolerance” of AIDS medications, some of which have potentially dangerous side effects.[33] In 2006, GSK and the US Army were criticized for Hepatitis E vaccine experiments conducted in 2003 on 2,000 soldiers of the Royal Nepalese Army. It was said that using soldiers as volunteers is unethical because they "could easily be coerced into taking part."[34] In January 2012, GSK and two scientists who led the trials were fined approximately $240,000 in Argentina for "experimenting with human beings" and "falsifying parental authorization" during vaccine trials on 15,000 children under the age of one. Babies were recruited from poor families that visited public hospitals for medical treatment. Fourteen babies allegedly died as a result of the trials.[35]
Death from prescription drugs	United States	Hull, Massachusetts	2006	Rebecca Riley, the daughter of Michael and Carolyn Riley of Massachusetts, was found dead in her home at age four, her lungs filled with fluid, after prolonged exposure to various medications. The medical examiner's office determined the girl died from "intoxication due to the combined effects" of prescription drugs. Police reports state she was taking 750 milligrams a day of Depakote, 200 milligrams a day of Seroquel, and .35 milligrams a day of Clonidine. Rebecca had been taking the drugs since the age of two for bipolar disorder and ADHD, diagnosed by child psychiatrist Kayoko Kifuji of the Tufts-New England Medical Center.[36]
University of MinnesotaResearch Participant Dan Markingson	United States	Minnesota	2004	University of Minnesota research participant Dan Markingson committed suicide in May 2004 while enrolled in an industry-sponsored pharmaceutical trial comparing three FDA-approved atypical antipsychotics: Seroquel (quetiapine), Zyprexa (olanzapine), and Risperdal (risperidone). Writing on the circumstances surrounding Markingson's death in the study, which was designed and funded by Seroquel manufacturer AstraZeneca, University of Minnesota Professor of Bioethics Carl Elliott noted that Markingson was enrolled in the study against the wishes of his mother, Mary Weiss, and that he was forced to choose between enrolling in the study or being involuntarily committed to a state mental institution.[37] Further investigation revealed financial ties to AstraZeneca by Markingson's psychiatrist, Dr. Stephen C. Olson, oversights and biases in AstraZeneca's trial design, and the inadequacy of university Institutional Review Board (IRB)protections for research subjects.[38] Although a 2005 FDA investigation appeared to clear the university, greater awareness of the case stemming from Elliott's 2010 article in the magazine Mother Jones resulted in a group of university faculty members sending a public letter to the Board of Regents urging an external investigation into Markingson's death.[39]
