Concerns and principles
• Respect for human dignity is the cardinal principle of modern research
• This principle aspires to protecting the multiple and interdependent interests of the person
• This principle forms the basis of the ethical obligations in research
![Page 6: Request for ethical review](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022083006/56813b01550346895da39eb2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Respect for Free and Informed Consent
• Individuals are generally presumed to have the capacity and right to make free and informed decisions.
• In practical terms within the ethics review process, the principle of respect for persons translates into the dialogue, process, rights, duties and requirements for free and informed consent by the research subject.

Respect for Vulnerable Persons• Respect for human dignity entails high
ethical obligations towards vulnerable persons – to those whose diminished competence and/or decision-making capacity make them vulnerable.
• Children, institutionalized persons or others who are vulnerable are entitled, on grounds of human dignity, caring, solidarity and fairness, to special protection against abuse, exploitation or discrimination.
• Ethical obligations to vulnerable individuals in the research enterprise will often translate into special procedures to protect their interests.

Respect for Privacy and Confidentiality• Respect for human dignity
also implies the principles of respect for privacy and confidentiality.
• Standards of privacy and confidentiality protect the access, control and dissemination of personal information.

Respect for Justice and Inclusiveness• Justice connotes fairness
and equity. • Justice also concerns the
distribution of benefits and burdens of research.
• On the other hand, justice also imposes duties neither to neglect nor discriminate against individuals and groups who may benefit from advances in research

Balancing Harms and Benefits• The analysis, balance and
distribution of harms and benefits are critical to the ethics of human research.
