The declaration of helsinki, 50 years later
Cet article présente la dernière version de la déclaration d'Helsinki (1947) de l'Association Médicale Mondiale sur les principes éthiques devant être observés lors de recherches médicales impliquant des êtres humains
Fifty years and 7 revisions later, the 2013 version of the Declaration of Helsinki includes several important changes. By changing the format and including several subsections, the revised declaration enhances and improves clarity regarding specific issues. By having specific issues covered under these subsections, the declaration is now “ bolder” in the way it addresses specific issues. The new formatting will also be welcomed by readers because the subsections improve the readability of the document. By so doing, the Declaration of Helsinki is a better and more important authority at what it is aimed at achieving—providing guidance on conducting medical research involving humans.
