Instructions
Your assignment this week is to prepare a paper that describes the three main ethical principles for research as outlined in The Belmont Report. Then, using the principle of justice, evaluate the research you have gathered thus far to determine if subject selection followed this principle. Some aspects of this principle you will reflect on are:
Does the subject selection sufficiently reflect diversity to make the results of the study generalizable to a general population? Pay attention to specific areas such as age, gender etc.
Were individuals chosen as participants who can expect to benefit from the study?
In the case that a diverse group was chosen as the only participants, does this reflect a particular logic or reasoning from within the study, or does this reflect a convenience selection?
These and other issues should be addressed in your paper.
