Strong words, but still a step back for researchers in emergency and critical care research? the proposed revision of the Declaration of Helsinki

摘要

The World Medical Association (WMA) Declaration of Helsinki was first published in 1964 and set out rules and limits for medical research with humans. The declaration has been incorporated into many national laws and regulations concerning medical research with humans. It has, based on national divisions over the text, been changed eight times. Another revision is now on its way and the draft of the revised text is open for public consultation till 15 June 2013. The text is available on the WMA website (http://www.wma.net/en/20activities/10ethics/10helsinki/ 15publicconsult/DoH-draft-for-public-consultation_plain. pdf).
