> thus couldn't give the required consent

While they weren't technically wrong, holy throwing the baby out with the bathwater, batman. This is the problem with single-issue voting.

I wonder if they have logicians on these panels. "So you want to take a person who will live...and maybe make them die...because you don't want to test on someone who will die?"



Well, yeah, I think that was a very bad call. But from the hospital's perspective nobody was going to blame them if some children died of a currently incurable disease. But people might very well blame them if there was a problem with the treatment. And there was a problem with the treatment, so maybe it was selfishly good for them that they had this procedure.
