एक विलुप्तप्राय जनजाति गहन कंकालीय विरूपता (स्केलेटल डिफॉर्मिटी) से ग्रस्त है। एक विश्वविद्यालयी शोध ने एक खनिज-पूरक को इसके संभावित उपचार के लिए चिह्नित किया है, यद्यपि इसका चिकित्सकीय परीक्षण होना अभी शेष है। क्या ज़िलाधिकारी (डी० एम०) को इस शोध का उपयोग इस जनजाति पर करवाना चाहिए? आयुर्वैज्ञानिक एवं प्रशासनिक नैतिकता की दृष्टि से इस पर विचार कीजिए।
