What Makes Research Ethical
• “ The overarching objective of clinical research is to develop generalizable understanding of human biology ; subjects who participate are the means to securing such knowledge. By placing somepeople at risk of harm for the good of others, clinical research has the potential for eploitation of human subjects.!
• “"thical re#uirements for clinical research aim to minimize the possibility of eploitation by ensuring that research subjects are notmerely used but are treated with respect while they contribute to
the social good.!

Non-Exploitation andthe NIH Canon
• $ocial value
• $cientific validity
• %air subject selection• %avorable risk&benefit ratio
• 'espect for human subjects
• (ll those principles can be interpreted as ways of avoiding eploitation.

Exploitation in Research
• )ulnerable populations – *mpaired
– *nstitutionalized
– +ow income
• +ess developed countries – lacebo controlled trials when proven effective treatment is a
vailable – -hen intervention is likely to be used for benefit of develope
d countries
– ff&shoring of clinical research

Exploitation Claims
• “*f the knowledge gained from the research in s#ch a co#ntr is used primarilyfor the benefit of populations that canafford the tested prod#ct, the researchmay rightly be characterized as eploitative and therefore, unethical.

Exploitation Claim
• 'esidents of impoverished, postcolonial countries, the majority of whom are people of color, must be protected from potential eploita
tion in research. therwise, the abominable state of health care in these countries can be used to justify studies that could never pass ethical muster in the sponsoring country.!
