Legislative Process Framework : Conclusion
In the context of the history of biomedical research, HHS and its agencies are in relatively early stages of developing and implementing appropriate policies that simultaneously protect human research subjects and include a representative sample of the population groups who are affected by a disease and would benefit from a proposed treatment. Nevertheless, the regulations proved a systematic means, based on established, internationally recognized ethical principles, to safeguard the rights and welfare of individuals who participate in research activities supported by HHS.
