An Ethics Committee is a group of individuals tasked with evaluating and guiding ethical practices within organizations, particularly in healthcare, research, and academia. Their primary role is to ensure that decisions align with moral principles and legal standards, protecting the rights and welfare of individuals involved. These committees often review research proposals, clinical trials, and institutional policies to address ethical dilemmas. They may include professionals from various fields, such as medicine, law, and philosophy, and often consult with stakeholders to promote transparency and accountability in decision-making processes.
