in Research: Protection of Human Subjects Ethical guidelines and considerations in research experiments involving human subjects are a fairly new construct. Prior to the twentieth century, elaborate set of rules and regulations regarding the use of human subjects in experiments merely did not exist.

In 1979 the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research drafted The Belmont Report: Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research. Within this report, the National Commission identified three ethical principles that are the foundation for research ethics and the field of bioethics. These principles are respect for persons (also known as autonomy), beneficence and justice. While these three principles are supposed
to a certain extent that research on specimen fundamentally differs from research done on living human bodies. My reasoning for this claim, however, varies from the one given in Greenburg, where the researcher’s economic interests were called into question and found to be irrelevant (Dolgin & Shepherd 65, 734). Instead, research on human living body warrants the risk of immediate danger to the subject, while research including specimen does not. The two forms of research do require informed consent
and regulate prostitution instead. I thought overall my essay turned out pretty good; prostitution was an interesting topic to research and write about. I think my essay could have been a bit better because I was a bit pressed for time these past few weeks with finals, and I didn’t get the chance to have another person read the final product.

student debt that is usually seen as intangible thus encouraging a call to action to change the structure of the education system. The subject of education is extremely relevant with the current presidential election coming up and the fact that California is the 7th largest economy and is educating 80% of the US college students (Newfield 2011). Relating to Sloaka’s essay criticizing the polarized focus on math and sciences, Newfield shows how the privatization of research

displays some clues to the values of early twentieth century American society. The interpretation of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution is the lynchpin of the decision, and the values of the court can be derived from it. In this essay I will demonstrate that the ambiguity of the Amendment in question has significant consequences, the ethics of the interpretation of the Amendment is derived form the paternalistic nature of the Constitution, and that equality of the law is subservient
