Ethics

The article we found as about the Alliance for Human Research Protection. The article was about how foster care children were being used for tests. HIV positive children were used to test the safety of various AIDS drugs and vaccines. Between 1988 and 2001 465 HIV positive children in foster care were tested. The people that were tested were children and babies. The article stated that the city had allowed babies in foster care who were not perilously ill to be tested. It also stated that one family of foster parents who refused to allow their kids to be tested had their kids taken away. The most recent article about this topic stated that the New York City Administration for Children's Services was reviewing the trials that were conducted on the children.
