Informed consent is an ethical principle employed in research, especially a research involving clinical trials that has to deal with human subjects. This ethical principle is hinged on the legal premise that prioritize the autonomy of the subject in a research. This means, that the researcher must communicate in clear terms, to the participants or human subjects, what the experiment entails and is all about, the benefits and risks the participants are exposed to. It also stresses that the participants, having understood what is being communicated to them, should voluntarily give the researcher the express permission to carry on with the procedure on them.
