Description
In a dozen or so scientific studies since 1996, people have been serving as medical guinea pigs unwittingly. Under a federal rule, clinical trials may proceed without the subject’s informed consent if the situation is life-threatening, the patient is unconscious and cannot grant permission, and no family members are present to give consent. Does the chance to save lives now, and in the future, justify such studies?
Genetic genealogy in its commercial form is barely five years old, but the hunt for famous ancestors is in full swing. In England, a favorite is William the Conqueror, or, barring that, one of his barons. In the South, it’s Robert E. Lee.
Do No Harm: The Coalition of Americans for Research Ethics is hosting a reception/briefing in Washington, D.C., on June 20, featuring patients who have been helped by adult and cord blood stem cell treatments. The event will feature wines from BOGO Wine, a company that contributes part of its profits to support adult stem cell research. To see the full invitation, click here.
