[Human experimentation and criteria for obligatory medical care].

Human experiment and therapeutic trials are regulated by the drug law and the jurisdiction of the supreme court. The qualification of the trial leader and the personification of his responsibility with reference to indication, performance and evaluation of the trial are just as much criteria of his obligations as the protection--derived from medical ethical motives--of the patient or subject. It would certainly be welcomed if the legal regulations affecting the testing of drugs could simply be transferred to clinical research in humans and dispense with the all too closely meshed regimentation.
