We ask people to participate as subjects in studies for the purpose of gaining new knowledge that may or may not have an impact on their lives. Clinical research is conducted because we have questions and do not have the answers; therefore, participation in research may come with some risk to the health and well-being of the subjects. In this society, we recognize a responsibility to research subjects for assuring their rights as individuals. Since the middle of the 20th century, the rules of conducting research have been and continue to be discussed, legislated and codified.
