SIRIUS, Nov 30Ethical expertise in the field of research and development should not restrain scientific progress, but act as a vector for its development, says Maria Vorontsova, a member of the presidium of the Russian Association for the Promotion of Science.
The issue of finding a balance between scientific research and ethical and legal regulation of research activities was discussed at a meeting of the working group on regulatory and legal regulation and bioethics in the field of genetic technologies within the framework of the III Congress of Young Scientists.
There are areas of science, both applied and fundamental, as well as areas of practical medical practice, in which there is a need for ethical expertise, Vorontsova told reporters following the meeting.
“”At the same time, ethical review, and we unanimously agree here, should not be as restrictive as possible, that is, restrain scientific progress or the practice of the researcher and doctor. It should rather be a vector that should help the researcher and doctor in their activities” , she noted.
“And this ethical examination, of course, can be more flexible than, say, legal restrictions, which is also important for our scientific progress,” Vorontsova emphasized.
