Viral Sovereignty and Technology Transfer Lessons from Latin America and the Caribbean
from Part II - Health Security, Research Ethics, and Human Rights Implications
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2020
Chapter 5 analyzes the ethical criteria that governments should apply when transferring samples or related information about biological samples during public health emergencies. What are the ethical rules that should govern biomedical research conducted during a public health emergency, especially when that emergency occurs in a low-resource setting? This chapter analyzes these questions from the perspective of efforts in the Latin American and Caribbean regions, drawing on the relevant statements released by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). PAHO has one of the longest-running regional bioethical programs in the world, and has played an important advisory role on the ethics of research during public health emergencies, including the Zika virus in 2015-16.
