Abstract:
Since it was first issued in 1964, the Declaration of Helsinki has undergone numerous revisions, aiming to address the ethical challenges in the field of medical research. This paper systematically reviewed the origins and historical evolution of the declaration, as well as sorted out the key revision contents at different stages and their ethical logic in detail. In the face of the challenges of technological revolution and globalization, the 2024 revision provided directional guidance to meet the needs of future medical research while reinforcing ethical norms. Its historical evolution is not only a microcosm of the development of ethics but also reflects the shared responsibility of medical research in the context of globalization.
