Abstract: | James A. Anderson and Charles Weijer take the wage payment model proposed by Neil Dickert and Christine Grady and extend the
analogy of research participation to unskilled wage labor to include just working conditions. Although noble in its intentions,
this moral extension generates unsavory outcomes. Most notably, Anderson and Weijer distinguish between two types of research
subjects: occasional and professional. The latter, in this case, receives benefits beyond the moral minima in the form of
“the right to meaningful work.” The problem is that meaningful work can itself be a form of inducement, and consequently,
may in fact increase the incidence of inducement contrary to the intentions of the wage payment model. |
