Ética del investigador biomédico. Una reflexión sobre los principios rectores de la ciencia

Abstract

This paper reflects on the principles that should regulate research in biomedicine. It focuses on the biomedical researcher, and proposes a set of principles that are necessary to conduct science in a moral manner in this field. In this context, it summarizes and analyzes the ethical standards of biomedical research that are currently accepted by the international community. It concludes that biomedical research ought to be governed by two fundamental guidelines: commitment to truth and a human sense of science.
