That is so because significant risks are involved while doing a human research; harms may occur due to ethical insensitivity, disregard or neglect. While a research participant places full trust on the person that conducts research; this necessitates that researcher never deviates from ethical conduct regardless of what kind of research compulsion he or she faces. Having recognised the fact that research participant contributes towards betterment of society and humanity at large; the researcher must behave ethically in their conduct and practices. Ethical behaviour has become so important that many nations including Australia have enacted legislation to protect the rights of research participants. That is why national institutions are involved to establishing procedures for conducting human research. The important aspect of the human research is the relationship that exists between research participants and researchers. Trust, integrity, justice, respect and beneficence are the integral part of such relationship that eventually …show more content…

As such, keeping risk for participants at its minimum is obligatory on part of researchers. While selecting appropriate research methods, researchers must assess the benefits likely to be derived vis. a vis. risks involved with the participant.

Critics have claimed that the results from an animal cannot generalize over to people, and while this can be true, assumptions about human behavior based on animal research takes into consideration data from descriptive as well as experimental studies with people. The second objection to animal research is that it has no practical value as the research only provides facts that are only useful to a theoretician. While this might sometimes be the case the findings from animal research have been able to be put to good use in topics such as child rearing, sports, and education. Lastly, many critics are quick to say that animal research is unethical as people have no more right to experiment on animals as animals have to experiment on people. While there are ethical concerns that should be taken seriously these concerns beg the question of if it is unethical to use animals in research what about eating them, what about forcing them to be our pets or what about using animals on

The Belmont Report was written to protect human subjects in research studies. This report led to the creation of the Institutional Review Board Guidebook, which was last updated in 1993 (IRB Guidebook, 1993). Protection for human subjects began with the Nuremberg Code when judging the human experimentation done by the Nazis (IRB Guidebook, 1993). Other studies had been conducted using human subjects that led to the Belmont Report. One such unethical study is Johnson’s Monster Study that was conducted in 1939 on a group of orphans (Reynolds, 2003) that violated the Institutional Review Board guidelines, and should not be repeated.

In accordance of the act, the infrastructure of policies and procedures for the approval of human experimentation had to be remodeled among Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). Federal policy regarding human testing have been based on decentralized and institutional responsibility since the passing of the act. Individual IRBs choose their own members and create their own procedures. IRBs are faced with a larger workload and causes some researchers to pursue independent work free from their institutional affiliation. There is also the issue of time consumption regarding the review of each and every detail of proposed human experiments.

Ethical issues will always be an issue in psychological research and in most cases there will always have to be some sort of trade off of ethics to get reliable results. Research such as that conducted by Milgram and Zimbardo brought this issue to light inside the psychological circles around the world and caused issues such as these to be brought into the public eye. It is because of such research that comities exist today to govern the content of such experiments. Several different issues were raised in Milgram and Zimbardos research in particular, the first and most obvious issue is one that is common in most, if not all psychological experiments; Deception and informed consent. In Milgrams experiment for example his participants were told that they would be involved with a study into the effects of punishment on learning, this effectively denied the participants giving informed consent as they did not know the true nature of the experiment.

Part 3. Ethics of Science When thinking about research, the majority of the people forget to take into consideration the ethical aspects and tend to look only at the final achievements and conclusions. More often, the media presents a “remarkable discovery” way before it has proven its authenticity and veridicity. Talking about Mr Hwang’s research on his stem cell line derived from a cloned human embryo, it has been scientifically proven that it is not a remarkable discovery as it was first presented but just fabricated data that violates some of the points of Resnik’s Ethics of Research list. There are few institutions that acknowledge Mr. Hwang’s article about his cell line called NT-1 (2004) as authentic and correct, but the majority

Medical Research has the potential to advance society and make life better for everyone in it. However, the ends cannot justify the means; the rights of the subjects of research cannot be violated no matter the possible benefit to mankind. Despite this, time and time again, it has been very easy for, at least allegedly well-meaning scientists to violate the rights of their research subjects because they wanted to help society as a whole. Such experiments were not performed in secret by a minority of scientists; they were often done “by respected investigators at leading medical institutions and were published in medical journals (Scandals and Tragedies 3). " It is vital that we understand the circumstances of these experiments and why they happened so
