Several key ethical considerations must be addressed in histological research, including:
- Informed Consent: Participants must provide informed consent before their tissues are used in research. They should be fully aware of the nature, purpose, and potential risks of the study. - Confidentiality: Researchers must ensure that personal information and data are kept confidential and are only used for the intended research purposes. - Minimizing Harm: The research design should minimize physical and psychological harm to participants. - Justice: The selection of research subjects should be fair, and the benefits and burdens of research should be distributed equitably.
