Abstract
AbstractWhen you look up “ethics” in the thesaurus, you are referred to many different words, among them “duty, what ought to be done, the right thing,” but also “fealty and obedience, conscience, morals, idealism and utilitarianism.” I bring up these words to show the great complexity of what the Institutional Review Board (IRB) is entrusted to do. I need only add to this that there are many who find fault with the effectiveness of this institution, concluding not only that it fails in the task entrusted to it of “doing the right thing” but that it itself has produced problems in the conduct of research. In this paper, I will list the complexities of the task given the IRB and then suggest a solution.
