conduct research in which older individuals with compromised
decisional capacity are enrolled? Or should they be barred from
being research subjects? Be specific.
Answer: The research Community have an ethical obligation to conduct research in which older individual with compromised decisional capacity that are being enrolled. This is because some categories of people are completely vulnerable from the research. These research may increase the risk of harm to them. Usually the experimental studies could show various side effects which may be ethically wrong to perform. Hence this category of people should be barred from being research subjects. They already suffers due to aging process and abnormalities. It would be a kind of torture for these people, specially when they are being involved in the research.
