Carte blanche : the erosion of medical consent / Harriet A. Washington. by Washington, Harriet A., author. New York, NY : Columbia Global Reports, [2021] Subjects Human experimentation in medicine -- United States -- History.   Informed consent (Medical law) -- United States.   African Americans -- Medical care -- History. ISBN:  9781734420722 (paperback) : 1734420723 (paperback) : Description:  189 pages : map ; 20 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "Carte Blanche is the alarming tale of how the right of Americans to say "no" to risky medical research is eroding at a time when we are racing to produce a vaccine and treatments for Covid-19. 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"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 174.28 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 174.28 Washington Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 174.28 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 174.28 Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
