ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to inquire into the nature of research ethics in biomedical science and argue for the necessity of bioethics education. The article examines extrinsic problems, such as research misconduct (“FFP”), as well as intrinsic problems that arise in the process of carrying out biomedical research. Since bioethics refers to the moral problems that arise in biomedical science, there is an essential connection between research ethics and bioethics. In particular, this article argues that bioethics should be treated as a core component of research ethics education and, furthermore, that it is a violation of research ethics not to teach research ethics and bioethics within the field of biomedical science.
