title: ACOG Committee Opinion. Ethical considerations in research involving women.
abstract: In this Committee Opinion, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Committee on Ethics affirms both the need for women to serve as research participants and the obligation for researchers, institutional review boards, and others reviewing clinical research to evaluate the potential effect of proposed research on women of childbearing potential, pregnant women, and the developing fetus.
