ObjectiveTo investigate how to protect participants in the artificial womb technology (AWT) human trials.MethodWe compared randomized controlled trials and single arm trials to understand which trial design best balances the interests of science and participants. We also compared AWT trials with comparable settings to understand how to protect participants.ResultsRandomized trials might fail in reaching a sizeable sample, which could pointlessly expose participants to risks. Furthermore, parents who choose to participate in the trial might expect to receive AWT. Failed expectations might distress parents and hinder the therapeutic relationship. The trial is divided into two steps. First, delivery into AWT involves two participants: the mother and the fetus. As AWT requires a C‐section, the procedure cannot be carried out without the mother's consent regardless of fetal benefit. Treatment in AWT, involves one participant: the infant. As for any other invasive intervention, the AWT trial should be suspended if harmful.ConclusionsA single arm trial could prevent some of the methodological and ethical challenges of the randomized trials. Moreover, better decisional tools should be developed to help parents decide whether to participate in the AWT trial. For example, using visual aids or showing the AWT.

Summary Building a culture of conceptual inquiry in psychiatric training requires the development of conceptual competence: the ability to identify and examine assumptions that constitute the philosophical foundations of clinical care and scientific investigation in psychiatry. In this article, we argue for the importance of such competence and illustrate approaches to instilling it through examples drawn from our collective experiences as psychiatric educators.

“…Some argue that personhood is an essential characteristic of the human species as a whole or even that personhood is a "problematic shortcut" for delineating our moral obligations to others. 26,27 It becomes apparent that the relational view of personhood may be problematic, particularly when considering critically ill patients. It seems clearly unjust to treat minimally interactive patients with COMMENTARY | 1085 strong family advocates with greater care and moral consideration than minimally interactive patients that are unrepresented.…”

“…Although an argument centred on relational personhood is compelling given the importance of human relationships and how interactions with others are constitutive of people's experience and identity, not all philosophers agree that personhood is relational. Some argue that personhood is an essential characteristic of the human species as a whole or even that personhood is a “problematic shortcut” for delineating our moral obligations to others 26,27 . It becomes apparent that the relational view of personhood may be problematic, particularly when considering critically ill patients.…”
