Helsinki

From time to time I teach a general education course in statistics. Many of the people who take it are nursing students, and there is a considerable section on the ethical aspects of medical experimentation. I am forced to wonder whether this section will be revised, given that the FDA has now decided to withdraw from the Declaration of Helsinki.

Words cannot express my disgust.

That's my understanding, yes - although the poorer populations in question are more likely to be in the third world.
