Purdue University Global History of Human Research Discussion

Human research in scientific studies has a dark past. While not all scientific studies of the past were unethical, many were; and in present day, there are policies and procedures that researchers must follow to carry out ethical research.
For the Unit 2 Assignment, you will review historical human research studies that violated what are considered basic human rights when it comes to protecting research participants. You will also apply the four principles of ethical research to these historical research studies and discuss how the IRB process could have prevented these studies from violating human rights.

INSTRUCTIONS

Please review the “Introduction” and choose an article from “Section I: A Selected History of Research With Humans” in the Oxford Textbook of Clinical Research Ethics. Then, complete the following:

1. Provide a short summary of the article you chose and why you chose it.
2. Describe at least three ways the historical human research specifically violated each of the four principles of ethical research: autonomy, justice, beneficence, and nonmaleficence.
3. Discuss three ways the IRB process would have prevented the study from being carried out.
