Balancing Human Subjects Protection with Public Health Benefits in Newborn Screening Laws by Matt Dias

“…This could produce long-term consequences, such as a dearth of biomedical research relating to certain rare diseases, such as leukemia, thereby disadvantaging affected populations.[9] Given the potential of screening samples to benefit public health research—the CDC has even stated that NDBS “is one of the nation’s most successful public health programs”—it is unsurprising that the NSSLRA provision has alarmed public health officials.[10] While it is true that the provision may hamper important research outcomes, it remains important not to lose sight of autonomy, a core principle of research ethics. …”
