“…An example of the indirect influence of moral imperialism is the educational actions promoted in poor countries, which through seminars and training programs are designed to convert researchers and members of ethics committees and government agencies into transmitters, in their territories, of the ideas of rich countries. Some countries have even attempted to propose amendments to the Helsinki Declaration, the main international normative document on research ethics, in order to relax the rules on the responsibilities of sponsors and multinational research groups 20,27 . The 2008 Declaration of Helsinki, a version of which Brazil is not a signatory, contained important changes, especially regarding the use of placebos and access to post-study benefits.…”

“…Ethical problems in conducting research in poor countries, such as many African countries, have been roundly denounced, such as the adoption of the so called double standard, when different research criteria are adopted for research conducted in central and peripheral countries, with more vulnerable populations lacking protection (Garrafa and Lorenzo, 2008). In social contexts involving severe scarcity of resources and difficulties accessing health care services and resources, the situation created by the double standard, which is serious discrimination against poor populations, becomes even more aggravated by these research subjects having little autonomy and reduced capacity to make decisions in the face of their adversities.…”
