The research climate plays a key role in fostering integrity research. However, little is known about what constitutes responsible climate. We investigated academic researchers' perceptions on this through focus group interviews. recruited researchers from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and University Medical Center to participate discussions that consisted of similar ranks disciplinary fields. asked participants reflect characteristics climate, barriers they perceived which interventions...
In this article, we present an analysis of bodily integrity in hand transplants from a phenomenological narrative perspective, while drawing on two contrasting case stories.

On one view, limb transplants cross technological frontiers but not ethical ones; the only issues to be resolved concern professional competence, under assumption of patient autonomy. Given that benefits transplant do outweigh risks, however, autonomy and rationality are necessarily self-evident. In addition questions resource allocation informed consent, limb, particularly hand, allograft also raises important personal identity bodily integrity. We present two linked schemas for exploring...

Institutionalization often results in increased dependence, inactivity and loss identity or self-worth (dignity). This raises the moral question as how older, institutionalized can remain autonomous far continuing live line with own values is concerned. Following Walker's meta-ethical framework on assignment responsibilities, we suggest that instead directing all towards more...
