Medical Research on Human Subjects – Historical Landmarks

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Medical clinical research, otherwise defined as research on human subjects, represents the standardized method unanimously accepted by the medical, scientific community, as well as by civil society, as the only way that allows the approval of the use in medical practice of a new drug, as well as of a new method of investigation or treatment. We will briefly present the history of medical research, with reference to Hippocrates, Galen, Avicenna, Ambroise Paré, James Lind, Edward Jenner, Pasteur, as well as about the negative examples and errors that manifested themselves in the name of medical research, from the perspective of medical ethics.
