Abstract

Not long ago Henry Richardson published the first book ever devoted to ancillary care obligations, which roughly concern what medical researchers are morally required to provide to participants beyond what safety requires. In it, Richardson notes that he is presenting the “only fully elaborated view out there” on this topic, which he calls the “partial-entrustment model.” In this chapter, I provide a new theory of ancillary care obligations, one that is grounded on ideals of communion salient in the African philosophical tradition, and that is intended to rival and surpass Richardson’s model, which is a function of Western considerations of autonomy. I argue that the relational approach of the former has several virtues in comparison to the basic individualism of the latter.
