Title: Pursuit-Worthy Research in Health: Three Examples and a Proposal
Abstract:
In the ideal, we might want researchers and institutional reviewers from the populations affected by given research projects. However, that might not always be reasonable—for example, it would be an unreasonable expectation of those with chronic fatigue syndrome to be heavily involved in guiding research projects. I explore three examples where health scientists had mistaken pursuits for various reasons. I then present the idea of deliberative research—the concept is based on that of deliberative democracy. Deliberative democracy is when decisions are made on the basis of reasons that would be acceptable to the target population; I argue that research decisions should be made on the basis of analogous reasons.
