As a result of some of the issues, such as testing on concentration camp victims, bio medical research and so forth. Just because we have these guidelines have been placed, doesn"t mean the rules are being followed. People most likely to be misused are individuals who are vulnerable (less education, claim power and space) Tuskegee: cure syphilis- targeted uneducated black poor men who contracted disease in the course of their life. Cia experimentation on guantanamo- psychologists redefined water boating as research. Amount of scrutiny will increase with the risk level of participation. Example: asking an olympic athlete to ride a bike is okay, but with a grandma its not okay. Rules come from tri-council policy statement: everything we do come down to these three principles respect for persons, concern for welfare, justice.
