Abstract
The revised Declaration of Helsinki, 2000 mandates that controls in a research trial receive the best care available anywhere and that participants get ongoing care after the conclusion of the study. Lie et al. argue in favour of an alternative international consensus position which considers that it is ethically justifiable to conduct a trial in a developing country without providing the best worldwide standard of care, as long as: (i) there is a valid scientific reason and the treatment being evaluated is less costly or simpler; (ii) there is a clear social benefit for the developing country, and (iii) benefits outweigh the risks for the individual.
