Ethics play a pivotal role in the review and approval process. Ethical considerations include:
- Patient Autonomy: Respecting the patient's right to make informed decisions about their care. - Beneficence: Ensuring that the proposed practice will benefit the patient. - Non-Maleficence: Ensuring that the practice will not cause harm to the patient. - Justice: Ensuring fair and equitable access to care for all patients.
The ethics committee often reviews proposals to ensure that they adhere to these ethical principles.
