1. Slaughter et al. (2007) in the article entitled “Consent and assent to participate in research from people with dementia” presents the people who have been suffering from dementia. The subjects of the research might be termed to be vulnerable people due to the fact that they might need the help of the various researchers in order to deal with the medical condition that they might have been facing in their lives. Thus, they might be requiring the special considerations on the part of the researchers. The special considerations might also be implemented by the concerned researchers in order to avoid incorrect results of the study.

2. The ethical issues that are related to the conduction of the research with the people suffering from dementia might lead to the conditions that are related to the various problems that are related to the recruitment of the concerned people who have been suffering from the cognitive impairments thereby leading to the conditions wherein the progress of the research might be hampered. The ethical issues that are associated with the researches on the people with dementia might also relate to the conditions wherein the concerned respondents might not be able to provide proper responses thereby leading to the fallacies within the research.

3. The researches that include the various people who have been suffering from the condition dementia might face a huge number of ethical issues.

This might help in the matters that pertain the solution of the ethical issues that might arise due to the factors that pertain to the uninformed consent of the concerned respondents who might be considered to be the major people on whom the study has been based.
