Pediatric research presents a number of different ethical challenges when compared with the clinical practice of pediatrics. Clinical practice is focused on caring for the individual patient using proven methods of diagnosis and treatment, while research embarks on the journey to find new treatments for future patients. This core difference in purpose is the ethical foundation for distinguishing between research and clinical practice (Litton & Miller, 2010 ). Most of the literature in research ethics uses a particular clinical trial or research dilemma as a starting point. We have opted to present a case study that arises in the clinical context to help highlight the distinctions between what is clinical practice and what is research. We contend that clinical practice and research should be treated differently from an ethics perspective, particularly when the questions involve children.
