Sammanfattning
The purposes of this work were to study the ethical reasoning in research ethics committees, and to ascertain whether the composition of RECs has any bearing on the decisions subsequently made by them. A postal questionnaire was used. A difference was found in how REC members assess a project in comparison with researchers, healtcare politicians and district nurses. The study indicates that membership in RECs may exert a normative influence on its members.
