Ethical Frontiers: Navigating Human Research Guidelines
Scripts
speaker1
Welcome to 'Ethical Frontiers,' where we unravel the complex ethical and regulatory frameworks that guide human research. I'm your host, a Professor of Medical Ethics, and today we're joined by a Clinical Research Coordinator who brings a wealth of practical experience to our discussion.
speaker2
Thank you! I'm thrilled to be here. Ethics in human research is such a critical topic, especially as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in medicine and science.
speaker1
Absolutely. Let's start with the Nuremberg Code, which laid the foundation for modern research ethics. Can you give us a brief overview of its origins and the core principles it established?
speaker2
Sure! The Nuremberg Code was developed in response to the horrific experiments conducted during World War II. It introduced essential principles like voluntary consent, the necessity of the research, and the minimization of harm to participants. These principles are still at the heart of ethical research today.
