VOLUNTARY CONSENT
This should be the purpose of an experiment—to yield fruitful results to advance medicine and not for selfinterest
RESULTS FOR
SOCIETY’S GOOD
History of problem under study to
justify performance of experiment
PRIOR ANIMAL
EXPERIMENTATION
Conduct experiment by all means avoiding unnecessary physical and mental suffering or injury
AVOID UNNECESSARY
PAIN
No experiment should be conducted where there is a prior reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur; except, perhaps, in those experiments where the experimental physicians also serve as subjects
NOT WHEN DEATH
MAY OCCUR
Should not exceed that which is determined by the humanitarian
importance of the problem to be
solved by the experiment.
DEGREE OF RISK
Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities be provided to protect the experimental subject against even the remote possibilities of injury, disability, or death
PREPARATIONS
The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment
