This medical right that we have long taken for granted was first sacrificed on the altar of military expediency in 1990 when the Department of Defense asked for and received from the FDA a waiver that permitted it to force an experimental anthrax vaccine on the ranks of ground troops headed for the Persian Gulf. Since then, the military has pressed ahead to impose nonconsensual testing of the blood substitute PolyHeme in civilian urbanities, quietly enrolling more than 20,000 non-consenting subjects since 2005. Most Americans think that their right to give or withhold consent is protected by law, but the passing in 1996 of modifications to the Code of Federal Regulations, such as statute CFR 21 50.24, now permit investigators to conduct research with trauma victims without their consent or event their knowledge. More than a dozen studies since have used the 1996 loophole to recruit large numbers of subjects without their knowledge. The erosion of consent is the result of a U.S. medical-research system that has proven again and again that it cannot be trusted"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Informed consent (Medical law) 650 0 $a Informed consent (Medical law) $x Ethics. 650 0 $a Human experimentation in medicine $x Ethics. 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210304010237.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E41D84E7B2811EB8960C99555ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
