Abstract
"Regulatory and ethical guidelines for human research emphasize protection of research subjects. The Nuremberg Code, Helsinki Accord, and CIOMS guidelines consistently insist that each person enrolled as a subject in research give informed consent. Based on a free and informed choice to participate, the consent document describes the clinical trial in detail. Principal investigators make efforts to disclose all risks and benefits, and ethical oversight committees seek to ensure that subjects have access to all relevant information. Using principles of autonomy, beneficence, and justice, ethical oversight members work in corporation with clinical trial personnel to ensure that the subjects enrolled in the research are respected as moral agents who freely choose to participate"
