Research that Benefits Children and Families
Research has allowed for great medical discoveries and advancements. Since the 1950s, vaccines for, for example, polio an measles, have reduced the amount of child deaths, disabilities, and discomfort from various diseases (Ethical issues in conducting research, 2007). Between 1975 and 1999 the rate of mortality from acute lymphocytic leukemia for children under 20 years old decreased by 20 percent with improved therapies. These discoveries were trialed and researched and even posed certain risks to various children and families. However, the research done has allowed for great long term benefits and has improved the quality of life for many.

Research has definitely served it's purpose and has opened the doors for such great changes. Often I find myself in this field so focused on what still needs to change that I often put the greater achievements such as vaccines and medical advancements on the back burner. Thank you for reminding me!
