Protecting Human Subjects: Three instructional films, 1993-06-01T00:00:00+00:00
Scope and Contents
1. Evolving Concern - Protection for human subjects. Traces the development of today's comprehensive program to protect human subjects of research out of earlier ethical codes and societal concerns. This film selected historic events in behavioral and biomedical research to show why protection is needed and how it came about. (Run time 22 minutes). 2. Balancing Society's Mandates - Criteria for protocol review. Depicts an Institutional Review Board (IRB) in action. Dr. Edmund Pellegrino, Director of the Kennedy Institute of Ethics, explains the basis for the criteria that an IRB follows in reviewing research. In commenting on IRB deliberations, he points out why the IRB seeks clarification and information from the researcher (Run time 36 minutes). 3. The Belmont Project - Basic ethical principles and their application. Describes the basic ethical principles that underlie research involving human subjects: respect for persons, beneficience, and justice. This film illustrates their application in case studies of biomedical and behavioral research and shows the principles at work in the resolution of ethical conflicts. The principles provide a common ground of understanding vital to protecting research subjects as new techniques emerge. (Run time 28 minutes).
