In order to propose the necessary moral reflection about the personal responsibility that each researcher assumes when he performs scientific research in human beings, an essay of moral and scientific themes is presented, using information from the relevant scientific and ethical literature. Around the concepts of heteronymous and autonomous ethics, it is proposed that ultimately and beyond informed consent and training courses on research ethics, the behavior of the researcher will depend on his/her own moral responsibility, tested in different situational contexts. Two explanatory models are used in order to understand this dynamic, the one of normality in mental health and the one of moral development of men. We conclude that the research process in human beings is a scientific and moral activity that, depending in various situations of conflicts of interest, will always test the researcher's moral controls.
为了引发关于每位研究人员在进行人体科学研究时所承担的个人责任的必要道德思考，本文呈现了一篇兼具道德与科学主题的文章，文中运用了相关科学及伦理文献中的信息。围绕他律伦理和自主伦理的概念，本文提出，最终且除了知情同意和研究伦理培训课程之外，研究人员的行为将取决于其自身的道德责任，这种责任在不同情境中受到检验。为理解这一动态过程，使用了两种解释模型，即心理健康中的常态模型和人类道德发展模型。我们得出结论，人体研究过程是一项科学且道德的活动，在各种利益冲突情形下，它总会检验研究人员的道德管控。
