Description

Undertaking human and animal testing raises a number of ethical and legal issues. Unlike countries such as the United States and France, Canada has no overarching statutory structure regulating ethics for human experimentation. As such, it is the task of Research Ethics Boards (REBs), tort law, provincial health legislation, Regulatory Colleges such as the College of Chiropractors of Ontario (CCO), and criminal law to protect test subjects and ensure that animal and other human experiments are conducted in a safe and socially responsible manner. REBs have the power to refuse or revoke funding for experiments that do not meet ethical requirements. In addition to these financial considerations, investigators face personal and professional consequences for conducting experiments that do not conform to appropriate guidelines. Civil liability for failing to adhere to the established standard of care can include damages for negligence, battery and trespass to person. Moreover, the CCO has the authority to reprimand members and/or suspend or revoke licenses to practice. Lastly, prohibited criminal offences, such as assault, criminal negligence and cruelty to animals may also have applicability in the context of human and animal experimentation.
