Declaration of Helsinki
Created by the World Medical Council in 1964, the Declaration of Helsinki is an ethics code similar to the Nuremberg Code. A significant standard it added was the requirement that any research involving human participants must be based on a written protocol—a detailed description of the study—that undergoes review by an independent committee. This declaration has undergone several revisions, with the most recent occurring in 2004.

Even though the participant agrees and signs an informed consent form, the researcher determines that the potential psychological risks to the participant outweigh any scientific benefits of the study. According to the principles established in the Nuremberg Code, this study is ethically permissible because informed consent was obtained.
