National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjectof Biomedical and Behavioral Research
The release of the "Belmont Report" giving guidelines to research. This gave more protection to those who were being researched and those who were not. I find this interesting that these guidelines took so long to be put into place. These are important when it comes to protecting the participants.
