	Regulations and Ethical Guidelines - WORLD MEDICAL ASSOCIATION DECLARATION OF HELSINKI Ethical Principles for Medical ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In the field of biomedical research a fundamental distinction must be recognized between medical research in which the aim is essentially diagnostic or therapeutic for a patient, and medical research, the essential object of which is purely scientific and without implying direct diagnostic or therapeutic value to the person subjected to the research.

		In the purely scientific application of medical research carried out on a human being, it is the duty of the physician to remain the protector of the life and health of that person on whom biomedical research is being carried out.

	Workers' Compensation Medical Treatment Guidelines in Texas (August 1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
