Persons with diminished autonomy are entitled to protection.
The Belmont Report’s principle of respect for persons incorporates at least two
ethical convictions:
first, that individuals should be treated as autonomous agents, and second, that
persons with diminished autonomy are entitled to protection. Persons with
diminished autonomy should not be excluded from participating in research,
because then they would be excluded from receiving the benefits of research.
The Belmont Report does not limit persons with diminished autonomy with
,participating in greater than minimal risk research. The Belmont Report also
does not limit persons involved in research from benefitting financially.
Which of the following is an example of how the principle of beneficence can be
applied to a study employing human subjects?
Determining that the study has a maximization of benefits and a minimization of
risks.
The principle of beneficence
The principle of beneficence includes the obligation of researchers to strive to do
no harm and to maximize benefits and minimize harms. “Persons are treated in
an ethical manner not only by respecting their decisions and protecting them
from harm, but also by making efforts to secure their well-being” (The National
Commission 1979). The principle of beneficence can be applied to a study
employing human subjects by determining that the study has a maximization of
benefits and a minimization of risks. Providing detailed information during
consent and ensuring persons with diminished autonomy are protected would
be examples of applying the principle of respect for persons. Ensuring the
selection of subjects is equitable is an example of applying the principle of
justice.

This study would qualify as not human subjects because
the data that the student is collecting does not meet the definition of human
subjects research as stated by federal regulations. She is not collecting any
information about the store owners, but her study mainly seeks to find
information about the items in the store.
