EPA Reverses Controversial ‘Human Guinea Pig’ Rule
Under proposed changes to federal research ethics standards, the Environmental Protection Agency will no longer accept studies that use people as guinea pigs in chemical tests.
In 2006, under chemical-industry pressure, and over arguments that the studies were scientifically and ethically bankrupt, the EPA declared such data acceptable. On June 16, the EPA reversed its decision.
My neighbor, Dr. Frankenstein, is really going to be pissed!
