The key principles that ensure the ethical framework is observed to protect humans, especially in biomedical research are diverse. Their persons involved in research should provide a legal consent. Further, there is the need to know the nature of experiments conducted. The results sought should be beneficial to the whole society (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2005). Further, caution should be taken to ensure that such an experiment is not fatal or is deemed to cause any injury.
Restriction on medical research tends to be a form of biases. Medical research is often a field that requires intensive research in coming up with medical solutions. If a certain ethnic group or gender is restricted, then diverse findings cannot be found (World Medical Association, Inc., 2016).
Dire consequences often occur when such form of restrictions occur. According to ethical guidelines, the brain acts as a special organ that makes it unique as compared with other organs. The ethical framework follows key steps that bring out the essence of fulfilling our lives. The desire to ensure that no gender biases is seen in the medical research has been on the increase. However, if such malpractice occurs, it will mean that the field is for one gender only that will make the field unattractive (Parks & Wike, 2010, p.73). The medical research core principle is to sustain the human and animal existence. Women, for example, tend to be victims of bias and are exempted in the medical field. In the end, the disease associated with women, for example, breast cancer is researched well. This has led to increasing in the death of women globally.
Conclusively, there is the need to have all-inclusive medical research to ensure that all genders or ethnic groups are involved in biomedical research. Further, resources should be provided that aids in training and conducting extensive research.
