Dear all,

I thank again all of you who have wished me well. In order to carry out my duty

in the capacity of member of the international panel of US Bioethics Commission,

I request you to give me your comments on the following points which the panel

would examine :

a. The dominant norms, and competing alternatives, driving the ethics of

medical

research in different global regions outside of the United States;

b. The conflicts, if any, between U.S. norms and international standards;

c. The challenges facing researchers conducting U.S.-funded research in

global settings;

and

d. Possible strategies to address differences in regional norms for medical

research.
