[Letter to Dr. Merson from Jon Cohen]

6. Liability laws obviously differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. How does this play out in the global AIDS vaccine arena? 7. Liability also differs with each type of trial. How do you see the issue changing for mother-infant trials? Seropositive trials? Efficacy versus safety trials? 8. Much has been written about the problem of defining informed consent in developing countries. Has WHO come up with a framework to address that question? 9. If WHO does see liability as a real issue, what are some possible solutions? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Jon Cohen 3445 17th St. NW Washington, DC 20010 202-332-9564 or 202-387-7517
