I think that in working to create a regulatory body or set guidelines for medical research, the search for commonality between cultures is key. What one might deem ethically correct in one cultural sphere, may be viewed as unacceptable in another. When countries come together, representing their people, it becomes possible to discuss these differences, but more importantly the commonalities. Creating a global compromise for countries to follow, would in theory be, creating a moral truth.
