Mondialisation et santé : patients au Nord, cobayes au Sud ?Globalisation and health: Patients in North, Guinea Pigs in South?
The North has established extremely strict principles and regulations in the field of human medical experimentation. Enlightened consent is demanded of patients recruited uniquely on a volunteer basis. But do this principles apply in the South, where ethical commissions are often to some degree ineffective or even non-existent, and where medical trials are frequently the only way poorer patients can gain access to treatments that would otherwise be financially out of reach? How then does one become involved in such experiments in Nigeria, Thailand, Senegal, or in Europe?
