Resumen
ARIANNA HERNANDEZ, Pérez et al. Bioethics and clinical trials in patients with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.1, pp. 88-111. ISSN 1727-8120.
The Second World War and the atrocities committed in research with prisoners in Japanese and Nazi concentration camps, awakened consciousness for the development of human rights that had gradually been conquered throughout history. That´s why a series of laws, rules and statements that deal with bioethical aspects in clinical trials, were passed. Special attention must be given to the doctor-patient relationship during the research and consider the benefit/risk ratio when conducting experiments on human beings. Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the ophthalmological disorders that has given rise to more trials. The research goal is to analyze some ethical aspects when experimenting on patients with this condition.
