Participant Consent
 The Permisison Problem
What is Research Participant Consent?
“Process by which a subject voluntarily
confirms his/her willingness to participate in a
particular trial, after having been informed of
all aspects of the trial that are relevant to the
subjects decision to participate. Informed
Consent is documented by means of a written,
signed and dated informed consent form”
Why do we need Research Participant
Consent?
Without fully informed consent -: The subject
can sue, Ethics/Trust approval may be
withdrawn, Future proposals may not be
supported, Inspection/Audit requirements
may not be met.
Research Participant Consent allows Individuals

- To determine whether participating in research fits with their values and interests.
- To decide whether to contribute to this specific research project.
- To protect themselves from risks.
- To decide whether they can fulfill the requirements necessary for the research.

Human and Animal
Rights
The Morality Problem
The use of animals in research is a matter of
substantial public interest and can generate
impassioned debate which includes the
ethics of using animals for experimentation
How to relate these ethical views to the
use of animals in research?
• Our attitude to ethical questions in animal
research stems from the relationship of
human society with all animals.
• Animals are used for food, transport and
entertainment as well as research. In
many societies ill-treatment of animals is
not accepted,
• Although this is by no means universal.
