Dear Anupama,
  Its nice to have ur posting and views on medical ethics
  Yes,these guidelines are preframed  and revised from time to time
  With  increased quantum of medical research in last decade ,the scope
of clinical investigation and procedures have become complex.So these
guidelines are formulated by central ethics committee of ICMR  with the
objective to protect volunteers, patients from being exposed to
unjustified hazards and risks.Further, clinical investigator and
researchers
would be also be protected and supported by their peers for their
research .
  Although ethics is concerned with the right and wrong, duties and
obligation. It is something which should come from within -of an
individual  .
  Keep it up..
  best wishes,
  Mira Desai
