Abstract

SILVEIRA, Carlos Roberto da  and  AGOSTINI, Nilo. The Bios in logos discourse: healthy person/participant in health research projects in Brazil. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.3, pp.536-560. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v22.n3.8.

The aim of this study is to promote a philosophical criticism regarding the release of research on health context in Brazil with healthy people, this according to the draft amendment of Resolution 196/ 1996, which was approved by the National Health Council (CNS), through the Resolution 466 on December 2012. This resolution admits the possibility of financial gains, i. e., payments to healthy volunteers to participate in “clinical researches of Phase I or bioequivalence”, as we read in item II.10 of the CNS-466/2012. We will make use of Critical Theories in Latin America in order to discuss the bios, in particular, the scientific discourse, the logos, about the relationship of human life, the bios, the invitation to voluntariness and the contribution of voluntarism in the technological advances in the health context. We will also analyze other issues relating to the human person, such as: relation between the participant and the recruited not patient; principle of human dignity and their compatibility with those researches involving human beings; decolonial view about possible speeches of the centers, whose part of the object of study is the recruited, the healthy participant, which is not in the center, but it is the other, in most cases, the one that needs economically.

Keywords : Education; Ethics; Research; Decoloniality.
