人类受试者研究的伦理学通常被解释为需要新的健康干预措施的患者的利益与在此过程中应保持安全的研究参与者的利益之间的微妙平衡。但还有第三个群体。有些人不属于这两类，但研究可以影响或危及他们。把这样的人称为“旁观者”。本文表明，考虑旁观者保护可能会质疑研究对其参与者合法评估的风险是否存在上限。因此，考虑适当的旁观者保护可以阐明研究参与者的适当保护。关注后者的核心研究伦理也必须考虑前者。
The ethics of research on human subjects is often construed as a fine balance between the interests of patients in need of novel health interventions, and those of study participants who should remain safe in the process. But there is a third group in the mix. Some people belong to neither category, yet research can affect or jeopardize them. Call such people “bystanders.” This article shows that thinking about bystander protection can question whether there is an upper limit on the risks that studies may legitimately visit upon their participants. Thus, thinking about appropriate bystander protection can shed light on the appropriate protection of study participants. Core research ethics, which focuses on the latter, must consider the former as well.
