Unfortunately, this interest is distorted when researchers lose their original objectives and, in the rush for advancing in their works, they perform improper actions that threaten the integrity of the individuals under investigation. In order to bring balance to this situation, bioethics can help to establish the boundaries and, specially, create a consciousness among researchers to act within the limits established and make no harm to the living beings investigated.esCorporación Universitaria LasallistaUniversidad Pontificia BolivarianaInstitución Universitaria Colegio Mayor de AntioquiaInvestigaciónBioéticaÉtica científicaArticle
