Document Summary
Among the fundamental tenets of ethical social scientific research is the notion of do not harm. Nuremberg code 1949 established principles for research on human subjects, most notably subjects must consent to participate in a research study (became the foundation of the world health organization in 1964) Highly questionable practices in research throughout the late 1950s an 60s repeatedly demonstrated the need for regulation and control of studies involving humans. Early attempts within the american political system to devise rigorous biomedical experimentation guidelines failed due to the inability to develop a single code of ethics that could cover the entire range of biomedical experimentation equally. National research act 1974 passed by congress which included institutional review boards (irbs) with the responsibility of carefully reviewing any proposed research that involved human subjects. Buckley amendment limited the access of official records concerning an individual and the prohibited release of personal information without written consent (intended to protect parents and students)
