The US Food and Drug Administration has proposed a rule for “emergency research” which scientists and doctors could conduct on unconscious or otherwise incapacitated patients, Richard Ackerman reports on World News Daily, 8 September 2006. Were they inspired by Britain’s legislation?
The proposed rules, known as “Guidance for Institutional Review Boards. Clinical Investigators, and Sponsors: Exception from informed consent for Emergency Research” are scheduled for a public hearing in October.
“Mengele Lives”, said Richard Ackerman, of the Pro Family Law Centre in California. There will be a sub-class of patients who can’t give consent themselves, or don’t have a representative.”
