The AMA council also said that study subjects should have to agree to lifelong surveillance, disclosure of sexual contacts and an autopsy after death.
Critics say such guidelines are unethical and unenforceable.
And you cannot legally force people to comply with monitoring or other type of surveillance. This has already proven impossible with AIDS study subjects. Many patients participating in AIDS clinical trials agreed to be monitored for life, but have gone into hiding and now can't be tracked down. You can't establish a xenotransplantation Gestapo to force patients to comply. The AMA will vote on the recommendations on either Tuesday or Wednesday.
