*** Blood trials done without consent

CHICAGO (AP) - A company conducted an ill-fated blood substitute
trial without the informed consent of patients in the study - some of
whom died, federal officials say. Baxter International Inc. was able
to test the substitute known as HemAssist without consent because of
a 1996 change in federal Food and Drug Administration regulations.
The changes broke a 50-year standard to get consent for nearly all
experiments on humans. They were designed to help research in
emergency medicine that could not happen if doctors took the time to
get consent. But the problems with the HemAssist trial are prompting
some medical ethicists to question the rule change. See
