horn Human Rights Group Questions Ethics of (U.S Funded) Chinese Drug Treatment Study
For the past several years, HRW has been investigating human rights abuses in China involving medical research on prisoners. The researchers recruited their subjects from Beijing Ankang Hospital and Tian-Tang-He Drug Rehabilitation Center. But according to HRW's Joseph Amon, the researchers in their paper are "mischaracterizing" reality. Because arrested drug addicts are routinely committed to compulsory treatment in those institutions, Amon argues that the "hospital" is really a "prison" and what the researchers describe as patients are actually "prisoners." He questions whether informed consent is possible with such a population.

The study was funded in part by the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). In an e-mail to Science, Amon writes that "NIDA should conduct an independent investigation of the research and denounce the arbitrary detention of the roughly 200,000 people currently in compulsory drug detention centers in China
