Ethics and human subjects research. WHO/PAHO criteria and requirements

Abstract

Introduction: since the emergence of medical practices and scientific research to deepen the knowledge of the human body, reactions to substances, possible cures to diseases, man was forced to regulate his actions in this area, mainly driven by the restraint imposed by the Church, since man is the image and likeness of God. Objective: to determine the main requirements of the WHO and MINSAP in the area of research with human beings. Method: a bibliographic review was made of 32 articles on the subject, in journals in the period of 2021. Result: a series of precepts or laws were drawn up which, from the ethics of human dignity, raised the need to treat with respect those who received medical services. Such is the case of the Hippocratic Oath, which is considered the oldest code of ethics in the field of health, and which is still in use today, with some modifications. With the events of the concentration camps in NAZI Germany, and the research carried out by the doctors with the prisoners, the world realized that it was necessary to set down in international laws the procedures by which the researchers should be governed in the future. Thus arose the Nuremberg Code, which emerged from the trials of war criminals. Later, the World Medical Association, meeting in Helsinki, elaborated another code, the Helsinki Code, with the same aims but more elaborate, and finally many countries felt the need to elaborate laws within their nations to regulate research.
