The purpose of science is to achieve a knowledge of reality for the adequate transformation of man and his environment. Clinical research is aimed at using human beings or their derivatives as part of the knowledge to prevent, diagnose or treat diseases. All studies carried out on people must consider their dignity in the very conception of the projects, so it is essential that their human rights be respected. Bioethics, being a discipline that is established as a protector of people and their environment, must safeguard the dignity of the participants.
