From the Belmont Report

Hi guys. More later about the move to St. Louis. Now I'll just send out an excerpt from the Belmont Report, written in 1979, that has become the cornerstone of medical research ethics since then:

"Finally, whenever research supported by public funds leads to the development of therapeutic devices and procedures, justice demands both that these not provide advantages only to those who can afford them and that such research should not unduly involve persons from groups unlikely to be among the beneficiaries of subsequent applications of the research."

Hmm.
