Core Tip The current 2024 revision of the Declaration of Helsinki (DoH) marks the 11th version of the DoH since its inception in 1964. Throughout the past 60 years, many notable controversies in medical ethics have arisen, such as the Tuskegee syphilis study and the harvesting of the HeLa cell line. Following these incidents, iterations of the DoH have increasingly emphasized distributive justice and beneficence, rather than focusing solely on patient autonomy. This essay will examine the key changes across the DoH's iterations, highlighting the progressive strengthening of participant protection and the evolving relationship between research, societal benefit, and individual rights.
