The Declaration of Helsinki was first released to address what aspect of medical research?

  1. Ethical principles for human experimentation

  2. Guidelines for animal testing

  3. Regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical testing

  4. Standards for laboratory equipment

The correct answer is: Ethical principles for human experimentation

The Declaration of Helsinki was first released in 1964 by the World Medical Association to address ethical principles for human experimentation. This document outlines guidelines for researchers to follow when conducting medical research involving human subjects. Option B, guidelines for animal testing, is incorrect because the Declaration of Helsinki specifically focuses on human subjects. Option C, regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical testing, is also incorrect because the Declaration of Helsinki does not address regulations but rather ethical principles. Option D, standards for laboratory equipment, is not mentioned in the Declaration of Helsinki as it is focused on research involving human subjects. Therefore, the correct answer is A, ethical principles for human experimentation.
