I did noit trust mny eyes when reading this:

German link (FAZ)

Holy squid.

In July this year, the EU commission released a proposal that wants to enforce in Europe that all medical research shall be allowed without any ethical assessment of purpose, method, and effect for the patient. In other words, when a hundred years ago patients got intentionally infested with Syphilis or Amobia to study the disease (patients died), doing like this should again be legal in Europe. What's more, for evaluation of drug effects and patents, no longer the effect and positive use for the patient shall be considered, but exclusively the communal interest - health on an individual level, as well as personal well-being, shall play no role anymore, but exclusively the communal interest, which means the financial aspect and the legal guarantees the producing industry so far had to accept. Finally, the rights of patients should effectively be neutralized, while the insurances dividends payed for sponsors of medical studies - have increased by 800% ! And last, the standards of medical studies should be imo labelled completely arbitrarily, because the evaluation of studies that for example assess the efficiency of a new drug should no longer follow widely greed criterions and academcial standards, but should be issue of national industrial self-regulation, in other words it is the pharma-lobby left with assessing the efficiency of drugs, technology, and how much worth a new poatent should be.

Lobbyism again has worked wonders in Brussel. The proposal was released in summer holiday, combined with pressure to push it through in national parliaments as quickly as possible, in the holidays, so that nobody should note.

Some of this is not any different to the standards by which Nazi-doctors conducted medical experiments in KZ-laboratories.

I know why I dispise the EU totally and completely, and want to see it getting bombed into ashes better yesterday than tomorrow. That since some time it practices its evil in growing openness and frankness shows how safe and strong the EU feels itself. And that is bad news for every free European.

Even if - maybe - the proposal does not get accepted by governments: the mere fact that things like this, that lobbyistic stunts like this are tried again and again, many being successful, speaks out against the principle structure of the system. The EU stinks.
