Morality and Science

Filed under: Biology

I heard the recent news from China and Austria on clinical trials with moral stains. It seems both cases broke the Belmont Principles at least for "respect for persons" .  In this principle, the researcher should tell the patients in simple words to let them know what’s going to be done to them regarding their treatments, and the patients have absolute right to decide to attend the treatments or not, and the doctors or researchers cannot cover any information to the patients, so called "Inform Consent".

Science is a double-face sword, could be evil without human moral control, so a scientist should always be retrospective about their research to excluse any inhuman events.
