The Cures Act – No longer is ‘Informed Consent’ required for some medical experiments

Thursday, March 30, 2017 4:27
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

(Before It's News)

The Cures Act was passed in the tail end of 2016. Today I focus on Section 3023, 2034 regarding Informed Consent and why you should care. No longer is the Gold Standard of “Informed Consent” required if there are “no more of minimal risks to participants.” And who decides this? Yesterday I posted Trump hogties the EPA, will he stop their illegal human medical experiments? This is why you should care. But let me not get ahead of myself. I include a video.

A year and a half after the original bill left the House of Representatives, the much-discussed and highly anticipated 21st Century Cures Act became law on December 13, 2016. The legislation went through more than a few changes in those seventeen months; it expanded from four sections to twenty-five and from 362 pages to 966. Informed Consent Waiver or Alteration for Clinical Investigations

The Cures Act introduces the possibility of waiving or altering informed consent for some FDA-governed research. This decision could mark a major step in the required harmonization of regulations; the rules around waivers of informed consent are some of the significant differences between FDA and Common Rule requirements.

The law sets two requirements for waiving or altering informed consent:

  1. The research must pose no more than minimal risk to participants; and
  2. Other measures to protect study volunteers must be in place.

The bill does not specify who will confirm decisions about minimal risk or appropriate safeguards, but the requirements seem consistent with determinations that IRBs already make. From Quorum Review

From Science Blogs:

Worse, the bill undermines informed consent, as I discussed before. The provision is still there that would add another category of research for which it is acceptable to forego informed consent. Normally, it is only acceptable to skip informed consent when it is not feasible or it is contrary to the best interests of the subject. Add to that now that it would be acceptable to forego informed consent when “the proposed clinical testing poses no more than minimal risk to the human subject and includes appropriate safeguards to protect the rights, safety, and welfare of the human subject.” As Merrill Goozner put it and I agreed, even if the risk is minimal, why would the authors of this legislation waive a central tenet of international agreements designed to protect the rights of human subjects in clinical trials? I didn’t understand either (and still don’t), particularly since the act doesn’t define “minimal risk” or specify who determines whether a study is minimal risk.

  • Outrageous! This article should leave fuming…

  • Yes, we are slaves. Almost two years ago. During an elective surgery I was inserted with a device. I do not know what it is, I never gave permission for this to be done. Here it rests on the chest wall above my heart. You can see some sort of wire under my chin. I also believe there are two wires on behind each ear. I went to three different doctors, and had three x rays taken, they are all of different people.

    My life partner is an electric engineer and he took a thermograph image. You can see an area of coolness right about the heart. Here you can also feel and see the swollen firm area about 1 1/4 inches oval round.

    I was tracked before the surgery, I have been monitored after the surgery, lexus, mercers all kinds of upscale cars. These people had money. They used poison, emf, microwaves. Last week after visiting an attorney they spent 4 1/2 hours going over my condo in the middle of the night.

  • Vaccines, flu shots, agent orange, subway tests, asbestos – almost every drug ever sold was beta tested on the general population. Nothing new here.
