Region: Europe
Petition Background (Preamble):
DANSK VERSION KLIK PÅ DETTE LINK: EU-forsøgudensamtykke
New proposals in the EU aim at revising a directive* and abolish the patient's right to prior consent to or refusal of trials with new medicine in emergency situations. This is a violation of civil rights!
Physicians are obliged to respect a patient's decision not to participate in trials. Each member State in the EU should therefore set up an electronic register, where citizens in advance can give their yes or no to participating in trials in cases of emergency.
This will enable doctors at the hospitals to check a patient's decision on the screen within a few minutes, and the citizen’s personal rights will be safeguarded.
* Directive 2001/20/EC –on Good Clinical practice.
Petition:
Stop EU proposed trials on humans without prior consent!
Will you allow physicians to use you for experiments with new medicine without your prior consent, if you are acutely hospitalized in an unconscious or debilitated state - caused by e.g. blood clots, stroke or severe injuries?
Defend your personal right to decide over your own body!
Give your signature to the following:
We demand that the EU obliges all its member States to set up electronic registers, where citizens in advance can give or refuse their consent to participate in trials with new medicine in emergency situations.
Such a register will secure the individual's right to self determination and at the same time secure the option to commence trials in emergency situations at short notice.
The signatures will be sent to the European Parliament in 2013-, when proposals of abolishing the demand for prior consent to medical trials with emergency patients will be discussed.
(full name, address and nationality required for the signatures to be validated by the European Parliament)
