Ethical Principles of Biomedical Research

Ethical principles of biomedical research ensure that studies are conducted responsibly and humanely. Key principles include respect for persons, which emphasizes informed consent and autonomy; beneficence, which aims to maximize benefits while minimizing harm; and justice, which ensures fair distribution of research benefits and burdens. Researchers must prioritize the well-being of participants, conduct thorough risk assessments, and ensure that vulnerable groups are protected. These principles aim to maintain integrity in research and safeguard the rights and welfare of individuals involved in biomedical studies.
