Carte Blanche

The Erosion of Medical Consent

Harriet A. Washington

Discover an alarming tale of how the right of Americans to say "no" to medical research is eroding, particularly during the race to produce a vaccine and treatments for Covid-19. The book exposes the medical rights that were sacrificed on the altar of military expediency, leading to the forced experimentation of an anthrax vaccine on ground troops. The military then proceeded to impose nonconsensual testing of PolyHeme in civilian urbanities, enrolling over 20,000 non-consenting subjects since 2005. Learn how modifications to the Code of Federal Regulations have permitted investigators to conduct research without patients' consent or knowledge, making it more important than ever to question the U.S. medical-research system.

I have lots more but since this thread has taken off I do want to give some shine to two new-ish small books I read recently and loved: Harriet Washington’s Carte Blanche: The Erosion of Medical Consent (whew) and Cristina Beltran’s Cruelty as Citizenship.      fuente
