  • 최근 우리 사회에서도 동물의 복지나 권리를 옹호하는 서양 철학자들의 논의가 많이 소개되고 있다. 예컨대 피터 싱어의 동물해방론, 톰 리건의 동물권리론, 제임스 레이첼즈의 도덕적 개체주의가 그것이다. 흥미 있는 사실은 이들 모두가 자신들의 입장을 정당화하기 위해 공통의 논증방식을 사용하고 있는데, 다름 아닌 '가장자리 경우 논증'이라고 불리는 논증이다. 이 논증은 동물에 대한 인간의 도덕적 지위를 결정함에 있어서 정상으로 부터 심각하게 벗어난 인간들을 이용하여 동물들의 지위를 높이는 논증방식을 말한다. 싱어, 리건 그리고 레이첼즈가 전가의 보도처럼 휘두르는 가장자리 경우 논증이 허술한 논증임이 밝혀진다면, 그 논증에 의지하고 있는 동물해방론, 동물권리론 그리고 도덕적 개체주의도 붕괴될 것이다. 필자는 이 글에서 첫째로, 싱어, 리건, 레이첼즈가 가장자리 경우 논증을 사용하여 자신들의 주장을 펼치는 구체적인 논의 맥락들을 검토할 것이다. 둘째로, 가장자리 경우 논증을 비판적으로 분석할 것이다. 그리하여 가장 자리 경우 논증을 이용하여 '종'들 간의 차이를 부정하려는 시도는 실패했음을 보일 것이다. 셋째로 '종' 개념의 복권을 통해 가장자리 인간들의 도덕적 지위를 새롭게 복원하는 방법을 타진해볼 것이다.

  • To examine the psychological characteristics and work ethics of Hanwoo managers, we selected 26 of the 50 managers who took part in this study to avoid unreliable response and non-description from the questionnaire. The core results of this study were the following: First, cronbach's ${\alpha}$ reliability with highest domain in this study were obtained from character strengths (.938), followed by job satisfaction (.841), internal evaluation (.799), and external evaluation (.739). Second, for perception and attitude of Hanwoo management, the correlation between job satisfaction and internal evaluation (P<0.05) was observed. Management satisfaction showed higher for intermediate group and subgroup and lower satisfaction for the top group. Third, there were statistical differences (P<0.05) in ten character strengths (curiosity, judgment, creativity, social intelligence, wisdom, honesty, optimism, responsibility, humor, and passion) according to group satisfaction. Ten character strengths were lower in creativity (7.14) and higher in responsibility (8.57) in comparison with other items for the top group. In conclusion, these results suggest that character strengths are beneficial to improve Hanwoo management on psychological characteristics and work ethics of managers.

  • 2005년 소위 '황우석교수 사태' 이후에 국내의 연구윤리에 대한 본격적인 점검 실태파악과 이에 대비하는 정책을 추진하면서 기관 및 연구자의 윤리의식을 강화하기 위한 다양한 노력이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 연구윤리에 대한 정부의 개입수준에 대해서는 학자들 간에 여전히 이견이 존재한다. 이에 본 연구는 한국보다 앞서 대학연구윤리제도를 확립하고 발전시킨 미국의 연구윤리에 대한 정부개입의 형성과정을 분석하고, 한국의 연구윤리정책에 대한 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 미국의 연구윤리제도의 형성과정과 법령들을 분석한 결과, 첫째, 학계에서 연구윤리원칙이나 가이드라인이 먼저 제시된 이후에 연방정부의 입법 및 규제 정책이 수립되었다. 둘째, 연구윤리에 대한 책임은 연방정부와 연구기관이 공유하되, 1차적 책임은 연구기관이 지고 연방정부는 2차적 최종 책임을 지고 있다. 셋째, 연방정부는 비윤리적 연구에 대한 최소한의 엄격한 규제를 가하고 있다. 넷째, 비윤리적 연구의 책임을 개인 차원에서 구조적 차원으로 확대해서 검토할 필요가 있다.

  • Purpose: Environmental education-research mainly focuses on the relationship between people and the environment. The purpose of this study is to focus on elaborating on the various ethical behaviors crucial in environmental education-related research. The study utilized a literature review of initial studies conducted on the topic as the primary source of information. Research design, data and methodology: This study has selected the literature content analysis as a research design because this analysis tool provided the present author numerous and tremendous previous works in the realm of authors' ethical issues within environmental education area and prior research already confirmed the high quality of an instrument. Results: Based on the investigation of the literature analysis, the findings emphasize that, while making any choice regarding environmental studies and research, authors and researchers must consider how ethical behavior might be applied to the particular circumstance. There are three ethical behaviors for authors and they can be founded in the section 3 of this study. Conclusions: As a conclusion of this study, three major subfields of environmental ethics-resource ethics, animal ethics, and ethics of nature protection-serve as the foundation for ethical behavior in research on environmental education. The ethical treatment of scarce resources, deployable resources, and environmental media.

  • Scientists planning research that involves the use of animals are required to examine the possibilities for replacement, reduction, or refinement (the Three Rs), and their protocol must be reviewed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Good scientific practice involving appropriate search techniques on the available Three Rs resources is essential for both ethical and scientific reasons. Appropriate experimental design and statistical analysis techniques are particularly necessary for research involving the use of animals, because this can improve animal welfare and scientific outcomes, as well as saving animal lives. There are a number of resources to help researchers improve their search techniques, experimental design strategies, and their reporting of research involving the use of animals. However, there is little specific information or resources on the Three Rs alternatives that is readily available in the Korean language. This paper outlines the common errors made by submitting researchers that have been repeatedly observed during the ethical review of experimental protocols over the last ten years, and provides information on the Korean resources available to promote good scientific practice. This could help to bridge the gap between Korean scientists and animal welfare advocates assisting scientists to improve ethical considerations and conduct responsible research.

  • Investigators planning to use animals in their research and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) members who review the research protocols must take personal responsibility for ensuring that they have the skills and knowledge to perform their duties, applying the Three Rs principles of Russell and Burch. The two Korean laws introduced in 2008 and 2009 regulating animal use for scientific purposes in line with the Three Rs principles have been revised a total of 11 times over the last 6 years. Both regulatory agencies, e.g., the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, provide regular training based on the legal requirements. Based on the amended Animal Welfare Act, the IACUC appointment framework has been upgraded: appointments are now for two-year terms and require a qualified training certificate issued by the Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency since 2012. The authors reviewed the current curricular programs and types of training conducted by the two governing agencies through Internet searches. Our Internet survey results suggest that: a) diversity should be provided in training curricula, based on the roles, backgrounds and needs of the individual trainees; b) proper and continued educational programs should be provided, based on trainees' experiences; and c) active encouragement by government authorities can improve the quality of training curricula.

  • It is fair to say that there are many ethical issues concerning the publication of medical papers. To define the best practice in the ethics of scientific publishing and a proper understanding of appropriate reporting in medical papers, this review should be useful for authors dealing with ethical issues which involve the protection of human and animal rights, the protection of confidentiality and informed consent, fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, author and authorship, copy right transfer, duplicate publication, conflict of interest, and dealing with misconduct cases.

  • Scientists planning research that involves the use of animals are required by international and/or national law to examine the possibilities for the implementation of Replacement, Reduction and/or Refinement (the Three Rs principles of Russell and Burch) in experiments for research, testing, and education. There are two Korean laws legislating humane use of animals and ethical review prior to animal experiments. This report reviews current practice of the literature search by the researchers and protocol review by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees on the Replacement, Reduction and Refinement alternatives in Korea. The promotion and protection of the laboratory animals are one of the core competencies of investigators exploring the ethical conduct of research and good science.
