case analysis

case analysis

Order Description

this is a case analysis. that advises the members of SHS within the CDC by engaging “Justice and Placebo Controls” by Jennifer Hawkins. the goal is to address questions SHS is having with at the close of the case :

– Are the AZT placebos administered in the Ivory Coast morally permissible?

– Is a public release of information about the trials morally permissible?

Begin your work by (briefly) explaining Hawkin’s argument to the SHS. No more than one or two paragraphs should be dedicated to exposition, but a reader unfamiliar with the work should fully understand the author’s stance on the issue of placebo trials in such medical cases.

Subsequent to the analysis, provide an original argument that draws upon Hawkins to argue for or against the release of information about the trials. It is necessary but not sufficient for you to determine the permissibility of the trials themselves; answering the first question does not necessarily imply an answer to the second question. You may find, for example, that the trials are permissible, but that the SHS staff has good grounds to release information about the trials anyway.
