The importance of ethical consideration
To me and many other in my class we sometimes feel that ethic’s is time consuming and quite irrelevant.
After reading this article and having this years ethic classes i feel that this has become a very important matter in your work especially with your research project.
It is a necessity for you to protect yourself and your subject when doing research thus complying and seeking approval from research committee, inform consent from your subjects and sustaining confidentiality of information gained from subjects.
It is also important to note that it treatment is appropriate and relevant, this you will only obtain through research done on a specific topic i.e US increases wound healing time. When applying any technique to a subject or patient there should be a balance between not doing harm and still making things better for the persons health.
Thus it is important to obtain consent objectively if you know the participant and from the subjects family if he is unable to do so. Overall research should always be done to improve well being and for future reference.
I do agree with this statement on the importance of ethics in reserach. However, I personally feel that ethics plays an important role in many aspects of life besides research. Ethical considerations/ Ethics is especially important in one’s work place and in the health care profession it is vital when working with patients.
