Plan would allow medical experimentation on uninformed patients
Medical experiments could be carried out in the United States on uninformed patients under a rule change proposed by the Food and Drug Administration, charges a California pro-family group. The plan is in a rule proposed by the FDA regarding “emergency research” that scientists and doctors could conduct on unconscious or otherwise incapacitated patients. The proposal would allow the use of any “investigational new drug application” or “investigational device” on people who have a life-threatening medical condition for which other treatments are unsatisfactory. It applies in situations where the patients are unconscious and cannot give consent and none of their representatives is available. “Such ‘emergency research’ could be conducted without any informed consent from the patient or their designated representative,” Ackerman noted.
