GARCIA-ROCO, Oscar Norberto; PEREZ GONZALEZ, Zoila; MORAS HERNANDEZ, Marco Antonio  and  MONTEAGUDO CANTO, Alina. Osteogenic Distraction: ethical considerations on this current medical application. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2005, vol.5, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1727-8120.

An important aspect of the scientific progress is the experiment. Therefore, the medical sciences have to lean on this to incorporate new technologies, diagnostic and therapeutic to the clinical practice; validating their security and effectiveness in animals and human beings. The ethics of the experimentation with human being is not only one of the fundamental areas of bioethics, but also one of the problems that brought about its origin. Some ethical implications and social aspects of the experimentation in human beings are described in this work, particularly while talking about the incorporation of a high technology in the ostegenic distraction in maxilofacial surgery for the reconstruction of defects combined in hard and soft fabrics; the origin and evolution of bioethics are analysed, the regulatory aspects for the realization of clinical rehearsals and their moral valuation, the experimentation types; the world and Cuban reality as for clinical investigation and technology and the informed consent. As a conclusion it is said that the fundamental ethical approach of the investigations in human beings is its disposition to the man's service as a goal and never as a way
