Sorry, without consent, doubt anyone would risk putting the kid into a trial. The odds are still high that the child will die. If he does you are fired, sued and who know what else. And from your point of view, it is only a trial. Drug may work, you may even think it does, but you don't know. They don't know and that's why there is a blinded trial. At any rate the three of us are in basic agreement about one point. Probably not a lot of people that refuse consent. Would be shocked to learn we are wrong, but interested in why what we thought is not correct. SL thanks for the information. I never was in a clinical trial, nor have I ever seen the disclosure paperwork. But I think I was close to what is involved. Have of course signed consent papers. Considered them a formality. If I wanted treatment, I knew I would have to sign.

Are you Professorial Minotaur, on Yahoo? Whoever he is he seems nice but full of bull. I have just spent 2 hours looking in an Atlas for the location of Polyglot and can't find it. Not sure if he was trying to insult Robert or me, or perhaps both of us, thinking we were one in the same. You don't think he was saying we have some sort of illness? I will check Medline and perhaps Euroferret to find out if Polyglot is some rare but not, negative, non disease.
