What's In It For Me?
Well, I wonder how many people would be swanking around with the title of
"Doctor" if it wasn't for others sharing their knowledge and expertise with
them?
This debate appears to focus solely on the "money" aspect of payment and
therefore ignores more fundamental issues in my opinion. There are issues
around validation, respect, power, ownership, etc.
In the Disabled People's Movement there is a slogan, "Nothing About Us
Without Us" - ring any bells? I think the debate should be more about
research ethics...people have pimped off disabled people and other "subject
areas" for years - maybe its payback time!
