7-10-06 Human Experimentation

Here's a little gem from ABC news...

ABC's "20/20" aired a segment on this situation recently, but it's not a new story. Here's some news about the situation from back in March...

And this from February...

...which is a URL devoted exclusively to the lawsuit against Northfield Labs, claiming that their fake blood product, a substitute for real blood, was the cause of heart attacks in 10 out of 81 people in an early clinical trial, two of whom died.

Here's another link on this issue...

...and there are plenty more if you care to search the World Wide Waste of time on your on for them.

Now the FDA says that Northfield Labs' "polyheme", the fake blood substitute, can continue to be used in larger clinical trials at hospitals on patients without their informed consent! This is what prompted "20/20" to do their segment.

What isn't reported in these stories, however, is a much bigger story that the mainstream media has failed to report on at all. The only response to the FDA change that I've found in the past month has been here...

I'm very doubtful that the FDA can establish this regulation to protect the drug companies, and actually get it to stick. It's no less constitutional for a government agency to declare the judicial branch of the government out of reach for anyone in this country than it is for Senator John McCain to write such an unconstitutional provision into his "POW" legislation. But the fact that the FDA established this regulation and it went into effect on June 30 leads me to believe that we can hardly expect less from our criminals in Washington, DC.

At least ABC news has done us the favor of listing all the hospitals in the country who are participating in this human experimentation without informed consent from the guinea pigs (see the first link, above).
