Human experimentation: a current debate from the perspective of law and bioethics

Abstract

Experimentation on humans corresponds to one of the multiple criteria that in terms of bioethical debates present implications in the readings of law and the context of human rights, which is why, at present, despite the multiple advances in models of protection of human rights, it is necessary to identify the possible tensions that are configured within the framework of the vicissitudes that experimentation on human beings presents within bioethics and biolaw. Therefore, this document raises the current bioethical debates on experimentation on human beings and its impact on the foundation of human rights, establishing a conclusion on the need to review the phenomenon not only from clinical bioethics, but from the responsibility that assume the multiple actors within this scenario.
