Informed consent: A review of empirical data from developing and developed countries

http://jme.bmj.com/content/early/2012/02/06/medethics-2011-100178.shor...

This recent literature review compares the effectiveness of informed
consent practices around the world, as reported in 47 published articles.

Results and Discussion: This review shows that the
assertion that informed consent is worse in developing
countries than in developed countries is a simplification
of a complex picture. Despite the limitations of
comparison, the data suggest that: (1) comprehension of
study information varies among participants in both
developed and developing countries, and comprehension
of randomisation and placebo controlled designs is
poorer than comprehension of other aspects of trials in
both settings; and (2) participants in developing
countries appear to be less likely than those in developed
countries to say they can refuse participation in or
withdraw from a trial, and are more likely to worry about
the consequences of refusal or withdrawal.

Unfortunately this paper is not available through Open Access, so you need to be able to subscribe to the Journal of Medical Ethics to access the full paper.

Experts give top concerns on genetic tests

http://blog.bioethics.gov/2012/02/02/experts-give-top-concerns-on-gene...

Written by John Donnelly on February 2, 2012

In the final session today before the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, Chair Dr. Amy Gutmann asked all the experts who presented information to talk about their greatest concern with genetic tests.

Gutmann, the President of the University of Pennsylvania, told them: “The Commission is very likely to focus its report on issues of privacy broadly construed. Anything that is relevant to privacy would be of great interest to the Commission.”

Among the responses:

Jane Kaye, Director of the Centre for Law, Health and Emerging Technologies at Oxford University: “I would say I see the whole genome sequencing is another twist on things happening already on science. … What we need to do is make (privacy concerns) more nuanced and allow individuals to say how whole genomes are used.”
