What principle ensures that research subjects are treated as autonomous agents?

  1. Respect for Persons

  2. Beneficence

  3. Justice

  4. Equality and Diversity

The correct answer is: Respect for Persons

Respect for Persons is a principle that ensures that research subjects are treated as autonomous agents. This means that they are able to make their own decisions and are not coerced into participating in research. This principle recognizes the importance of respecting the autonomy and dignity of individuals. Although beneficence is also a key principle in research ethics, it focuses on the obligation to do no harm and maximize benefits for research subjects. Justice, on the other hand, pertains to the fair distribution of the burdens and benefits of research. Equality and diversity are important considerations in research but are not directly related to the principle of respecting individuals as autonomous agents.
