International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects

The International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects are standards that ensure research methods respect participants' rights, safety, and well-being. They emphasize informed consent, meaning participants understand and agree to the research. The guidelines also prioritize privacy, minimize harm, and require that research benefits outweigh risks. Ethical review boards evaluate study plans to protect participants and ensure scientific validity. Overall, these guidelines promote responsible research that advances medicine while safeguarding human dignity and rights.
