ABSTRACT

This article examines special protection measures within international regulations and domestic laws for vulnerable subjects in research involving human subjects. An ethic of care that respects individuality and promotes altruism toward vulnerable subjects is proposed. In order to realize this ethic of care, four principles based on relational, mutual, and critical considerations are proposed. In research on human subjects, the four care principles can be realized as a dialogic interaction in the informed consent process, although dialogic interaction has limitations as a concrete guideline for the entire consent process. Finally, this article recommends a care checklist that researchers can write personally.
