The three principles discussed in the Belmont Report are:
- Respect for Persons
- Beneficence
- Justice
These principles serve as the fundamental ethical guidelines for all research involving human subjects. "Respect for Persons" emphasizes treating individuals as autonomous agents and protecting those with diminished autonomy. "Beneficence" involves maximizing benefits while minimizing harm. "Justice" ensures the fair distribution of the benefits and burdens of research, without unfairly targeting or excluding groups.
