Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Declaration of Helsinki is a set of ethical principles that provides guidelines for researchers when conducting research involving human subjects. It specifically outlines the rights of research participants, the obligations of researchers to avoid harm, and the ethical considerations involved in informed consent. It does not address freedom of patient access to medical records or legal consequences of ethical violations occurring during research. While it does address protection of human subjects, it does not address non-human subjects involved in medical research specifically.
