Federal advisory panel on ethical, legal issues in human health research disbanded A committee of experts that advises HHS on emerging ethical and legal issues in human health research has been disbanded, according to an email obtained by STAT.

SACHRP, a federal advisory panel on ethical, legal issues in human health research, is no longer. From me and @pharmalot.bsky.social:

So many congratulations!

I was delighted to see this special issue published last week, after a rewarding journey through questions of #justice and #amr

Exactly this

Interesting! Thanks for thread. Yes I do not mean to downplay the threat he and his ilk pose, at all, but it seemed a pity to rewrite Samoa as a victim of RFK rather than what happened and can be improved.

Interested in your take on the story about RFK Jr influence on uptake in Samoa. At the time the story was about a mistake made during vaccine administration, but it seems to have morphed into RFK influence? Like I’m fine with a pile on but interested nonetheless.

It was a nourishing week of work at #aabhl2024 but also and especially at #ACHEEV symposium on inclusiveness in health research. It was so inspiring to hear from people doing cool and creative research! And so lovely seeing old friends and making new ones. Now ready for everything to stop thanks.

I’m excited for your book launch tonight!

I like that wording!

Does this mean you’ll be at #aabhl?!

Events at the 2024 Paris Olympics sadly highlight the inability of a categorical system (weight), additional to sex, to allay concerns regarding participation by athletes purported to have innate variations of sex characteristics (intersex variations/differences of sex development). Instead, abusive campaigns demonised athletes with long, prior histories of competition – and sought to impose methods of sex determination and classification that are not directly tested or applied at birth, and which do not universally apply. I ask if it is ever acceptable to reclassify someone out of their sex determined and classified at birth without their consent. I propose that women athletes should always be able to compete, without preconditions, in their birth-observed, birth-assigned sex.

The American Journal of Bioethics has just published my open access commentary on sport:

“Is It Ever OK to Reclassify Someone Out of Their Birth-Observed Sex Without Personal Consent? How Do We Manage Competing Methods of Classifying Sex?”
