Universal Regulations: SAQ Solutions

Below are the solutions to the Universal Regulations Self-Assessment Questions:

1. Sample answers include: Informed consent, prevent harmful/counterfeit medicines from reaching patients, protect populations, hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for actions.
   Universal regulations are an important part of bioengineering ethics, especially as it relates to clinical trials and device usage in low-resource settings as described in the video.
2. B and C. New technologies may never reach low income countries with an invisible health barrier, and low resource countries may not be able to afford the high costs associated with equipment, trained personnel, etc.
   Unfortunately, universal regulations would be expensive to implement as described in the video. This would affect accessibility to technologies in low income countries. Equipment would also be more expensive as a result of these regulations.
