ABSTRACT
Science and technology ethics governance, how to put ethics first? The purpose of "technological innovation, ethics first" is to build an ethical soft landing mechanism for scientific and technological innovation. Researchers of science and technology ethics should start from the practice of international and domestic science and technology ethics governance, and explore the realistic way of science and technology ethics governance on the basis of understanding and thinking about the innovative culture, value orientation and operation mechanism. First of all, it should be noted that seeking technical, management and institutional solutions in the current ethical governance of science and technology may not be perfect and thorough, but operable management measures can be explored and continuously improved under the framework of mainstream scientific and technological innovation. Secondly, the co-governance of science and technology ethics needs to further explore the corresponding group co-governance epistemology facing pluralistic co-governance. Finally, the ethical governance of science and technology should pay attention to the principle of proportionality, and avoid both lax and being too strict.
ABSTRACT
Ethical governance is inherent in responsible research and innovation. The Opinions on Strengthening Ethical Governance of Science and Technology puts forward five ethical principles: promoting human well-being, respecting the right to life, adhering to fairness and justice, reasonably controlling risks and maintaining openness and transparency. This paper interpreted the ideas, key points and difficulties of these five ethical principles. Three suggestions were put forward to strengthen the ethics education of science and technology: first, optimize the curriculum of science and technology ethics for related majors in colleges and universities, and help young students understand ethical principles and establish the correct ethics view of science and technology; second, colleges and universities should carry out education and training for teachers, researchers, managers and members of ethics committees, and actively explore scientific research ethics training and effect evaluation; third, the professional courses offered by college teachers should be organically integrated with the ideological and political content of the courses to play a warning role.
ABSTRACT
Research-oriented hospitals are the currently development direction of large hospitals, and their research ethics management has played an important role in China’s scientific and technological innovation and clinical research development through years of practice. However, at present, China’s overall scientific and technology ethics governance framework system is still incomplete, governance authority is insufficient, ethics committee members lack ethical professional technical training, and the awareness and understanding of science and technology ethics among medical staff still need to be improved, which indicates that the level of technology ethics governance in research-oriented hospitals needs to be improved. It is suggested to improve from the aspects of regulatory system, governance responsibilities, training of ethical practitioners, supervision and punishment measures, and ethical education of scientific and technological research talents, so as to better protect subjects and promote the construction of scientific and technological ethics in the research-oriented hospitals.
ABSTRACT
The ethical governance of science and technology has put forward higher ethical requirements for researchers. As important personnel in medical research and front-line workers in contact with patients, clinical health workers should regulate their ethical behavior during the research process and provide informed consent to patients participating in study to protect their rights and interests. At present, patients’ rights and interests are still violated due to insufficient ethical awareness of researchers in the process of clinical research. Ethical governance of science and technology is not only a standard for researchers’ behavior and protection of patients’ rights and interests, but also a new test for scientific research management and ethical review departments, as well as an important measure to enhance the trust between doctors and patients and build harmonious doctor-patient relationship.
