Abstract
This text discusses, critically, the many adjustments
made to the Helsinki statement (HS) from its creation
to 2013, some of which are necessary and
others have no evident usefulness. After 2008, after
the World Medical Assembly in Seoul, Korea, some
substantial modifications to the HAS started to generate
strong controversies. This study analyzes,
specially, the topics related to the “double standard”
in research and the lack of commitment of the sponsors
of the clinical research works with the subjects
of the studies once the tests are finished, plus the
excessive use of placebos in the international clinical
context. It also approaches to the concept of social
vulnerability related to most of the patients that
participate in these studies in peripheral countries.
As the most recent meeting took place in Brazil in
2013, the text finishes with an analysis of the problems
that occurred in this country due to the strong
divisions registered between its two main medical
entities concerning the denial or the approval of the
changes and the official position, opposite to that of
the government.
