[Conference Materials, Panel to Review GP-160 Vaccine Candidate (1992: Bethesda, Maryland)]
UNDERPINNING ALL CLINICAL RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMANS IS THE PRINCIPLE DERIVED FROM THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH AND UNDERSCORED IN THE BELMONT REPORT REQUIRING PHYSICIANS TO BENEFIT THEIR PATIENTS "ACCORDING TO THEIR BEST JUDGMENTll -- PRESUMABLY THAT MEANS THEIR BEST JUDGMENT BASED ON SCIENTIFIC FACT, NOT LEGISLATIVE MANDATE. FROM THE MOST CYNICAL POINT OF VIEW, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE CONGRESS HAS SIGNED AN UNINFORMED CONSENT FORM FOR PATIENTS WITH AIDS. LET US BEAR IN MIND, HOWEVER, THAT THE CONGRESS' MOTIVATION IN PASSING THIS LEGISLATION IS THE SAME MOTIVATION THAT DRIVES ALL OF AIDS RESEARCH -- THE DESIRE TO FIND A CURE FOR THIS DEVASTATING DISEASE. THUS, I HOPE THAT, LIKE ME, YOU WILL WHOLEHEARTEDLY ENDORSE THE SPIRIT, IF NOT THE LETTER, OF THIS NEW LAW. 5
