Ethical Principles In The Belmont Report

The moral and ethical approach in experimentation is a topic that have been regulating to avoid several problems that the researchers have made in the past. In 1979, the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research proposed a few ethical principles for researcher over human beings (Shadish, Cook & Campbell, 2002). For this analysis, I will explain those principles, I will give examples of research that could violate them, and I will suggest modifications that will improve the problems with them.
The three principles in the “Belmont Report” are not a regulation for researcher, they are standards, analytical framework that can be contrasted with the behavior of the researcher and they are expected to be follow by the person who want to be experimentation over human being (Gabriele, 2003). These principles are the respect for persons, beneficence and Justice (Shadish, Cook & Campbell, 2002). All of them are the based for the protection of human research (Gabriele, 2003) and it point it out that the participant of a research must be aware of the benefits and possible risk of their participation, avoiding every harm for them (Shadish, Cook & Campbell, 2002).
Freedom means the capability of humans being of self-determination to take their own decisions, without the intervention of anyone and dignity is a concept related to the self-respect and self-esteem of the individual that confer a special value to all the human beings. This principle also includes the protection to the people with diminished autonomy as children (Shadish, Cook & Campbell,
