[Biomedical research, care and development levels. A comparative study detailing the different areas of responsibility].
In an international context, biomedical research depends on development conditions. The disparities between the North and South may become a form of exploitation. This article proposes a reflection on ethical effects about terminological choices. As shown in some tragic cases, it seems important to specify the terms and their meaning in ethical texts. These choices have consequences on research participant protection and on involved responsibilities.
