Issues in bioethics. Teaching research ethics.

Full Abstract

All research should meet the highest ethical and scientific standards, and so persons who may be involved in conducting research should be fully conversant with the relevant ethical principles of biomedical research and its requirements. Further, scientists, academicians, physician-researchers, student-researchers, and members of research ethics committees should be able to distinguish between therapy and research, evaluate risk and benefit, be sensitive to various forms of conflicts of interest, and be fully aware of the special provisions necessary for vulnerable populations. This article recommends a number of subject areas that should be addressed as a part of this academic process.
