This paper addresses three questions central to the ethical analysis of risks and potential benefits in human subjects research:
1. How was the ethical analysis of risk understood by the members of the U.S. National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research (National Commission)?
2. What conceptual framework should guide the ethical analysis of risk?
3. What changes to U.S. regulations would the implementation of such a framework require?
