The shrinking of human rights: the controversial revision of the Helsinki Declaration
1Unité d'éthique biomédicale, UCL Louvain, Brussels, Belgium.
Abstract:
The right of access to health care for HIV patients in developing countries has been weakened by the 1999 revision of the Helsinki Declaration. There is a dichotomy between discussions of human rights and liberal international public health policy. Utilitarian ethics, devoid of a sound notion of universal justice, encourage discrimination against economically vulnerable patients in developing countries. Greater coherence is needed between ethical principles and practical issues, particularly with regard to scientific research.
