This paper explores the ethical issues of the right to self determination and the ethical principles that support the human subject’s rights in the research study. This document consists of two historical unethical studies that had impact in U.S. history. In addition, this paper provides information explaining how the issues are currently addressed in research and potential/ real impact on the subjects and the researchers. Overall, this paper addresses the significant changes in biomedical research that focused on protecting unethical issues and to respect the human subject’s rights.

“The functions and operations of an IRB involve the review of research at three different levels: (1) exempt from review, (2) expedited review, and (3) complete review”. (Burns & Grove, 2011, pg.131). The overall, objectives of the Institutional Review Boards is to ensure that all participants are protected during the study. Therefore, every research study that is being conducted and involves human subject has to go through an Institutional Review …show more content…
For instance, researchers mistreated their subjects by blocking access to appropriate and available medical care. After a few weeks, the news on the Tuskegee study became a concern for the government. “Within weeks of the first news reports of Tuskegee, the African American press and African American political leaders began to view a host of medical and public policy issues through the lens of Tuskegee. “Tuskegee,” which quickly became a metaphor for genocide, crystallized a history of medical neglect and abuse that was a consequence of social and political disempowerment.”(Fairchild, A., & Bayer, R. 1999, pg. 591).Therefore, after the news on Tuskegee study, medical research became a suspicious view for the public. “The Tuskegee syphilis study has come to symbolize the most egregious abuse of authority on the part of medical researchers.” (Fairchild, A., & Bayer, R. 1999, pg. 589).For this reasons, the public started to blame government programs and became concerned about research studies. Overall, based on the new regulations and guidelines, researchers have to make sure that they receive an informed consent from their participants and respect the ethical principles of human subject rights before they conduct any research study or provide any treatment to any
