Jacqueline Tarsa LeBaron is wanted in connection with four 1988 murders in Houston and Irving, Texas, according to a wanted poster on the agency's Web site. She's been a fugitive since 1992." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060813/ap_on_re_us/polygamy_lebaron   this one fwd from L Moss Sharman - Shortage of test subjects has researchers eyeing prisons - Plan prevents abuses of past, say backers -- others not so sure  Ian Urbina, New York Times 8/13/06 Philadelphia   "An influential federal panel of medical advisers has recommended that the government loosen regulations that severely limit the testing of pharmaceuticals on prison inmates, a practice that was all but stopped three decades ago after revelations of abuse. The proposed change includes provisions intended to prevent problems that plagued earlier programs. Nevertheless, it has dredged up a painful history of medical mistreatment and sparked debate among prisoner-rights advocates and researchers about whether prisoners can truly make uncoerced decisions, given the environment they live in.  Supporters of such programs cite the possibility of benefit to prison populations, and the potential for contributing to the greater good. Until the early 1970s, about 90 percent of all pharmaceutical products were tested on prison inmates, federal officials say. But such research diminished sharply in 1974 after revelations of abuse at prisons like Holmesburg in Philadelphia, where inmates were paid hundreds of dollars a month to test items as varied as dandruff treatments and dioxin, and where they were exposed to radioactive, hallucinogenic and carcinogenic chemicals.  In addition to addressing the abuses at Holmesburg, the regulations were a reaction to revelations in 1972 surrounding what the government called the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, which was begun in the 1930s and lasted 40 years. In it, several hundred, mostly illiterate, men with syphilis in rural Alabama were left untreated, even after a cure was discovered, so that researchers could study the disease." http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/08/13/MNGFMKHJ7S1.DTL  www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
