The Ethics of DNA Ownership and Compensation: A Case Study of John Moore vs. the Doctors of California The case of John Moore vs. the doctors of California raises important ethical questions about the ownership and compensation of one’s DNA. In this case
discussion 400-500 words (500 max)with reference CSE style
Should you get paid for your DNA?
In 1976, John Moore was treated in a hospital in California for a rare type of leukemia (a condition in which white blood cells become cancerous and grow at an advanced rate). Moore was treated, his spleen was removed, and his leukemia went into remission. He periodically returned to California to have blood drawn, which he thought was part of his treatment. Moore signed a consent form to allow the doctors to conduct research on his cells. The doctors discovered that Moore’s cells produced a unique protein that could be used to treat certain types of cancer. Using genetic engineering, the doctors produced a pharmaceutical product with promising medical uses and high commercial profit. The doctors sold the product to a company that would investigate and market the product. Moore was never informed about the use of his cells or their potential commercial value. Moore filed a lawsuit, charging that he did not give informed consent to use his “property” because the doctors did not provide enough information needed to make informed consent (they did not tell him that they may sell products retrieved from his cells). In addition, because of the lack of informed consent, Moore argued that his relationship with his physicians was breached.
Do the doctors owe some of their earnings to Moore? If so, how much? If not, why?
Do you think the doctors did something wrong? If you were the judge in this case, how would you rule? Why? (Don’t worry – you are not required to look into the actual legalities of the issue or required to spend time looking up specific case laws – that is beyond the scope of the course, unless you are interested and just want to know, then by all means look it up and share the info you find!)
Do we own our DNA like property? For example, if you have a tooth pulled, or your appendix removed, and the surgeons keep your tissue, should you be compensated if they make a profit off of the research they perform? You are not restricted to these questions, and can expand on this topic. Be sure to substantiate your comments with references and formally cite your references. -
