Protecting Group Home Residents as Human Research Subjects
Angebote / Angebote:
Residents of group homes have diminished autonomy and as such need protection by advocates outside the mental health system as they are being used in a Human Research Project without their understanding, (informed consent, ) a project which entails more than "minimal risk" and harm their overall health and prevents their recovery. Their diminished functioning is blamed on progression of the disease, when in fact it is the drugcocktails they have to swallow each day that causes that progression toward an early death. The prolonged use of the drugs is highly hazardous, as blogged by Thomas Insel. MD, director of NIMH. Yet the group homes continue to observe what they call "the law." As long as stigma is attached to any population group, their lives are precarious.
