SCU axes research amid 'child trauma' claims

[Guest guest]

Interesting story :

SOUTHERN

Cross University has shut down a study into Down’s syndrome because a

child had been traumatised after suffering an ‘adverse reaction’

during the research.

The

study, by PhD student and Sydney-based scientist Harvey, was designed to

examine the impact of folate supplements on the DNA of children with

Down’s syndrome.

It

follows US

research suggesting the substance could rebuild some of the damaged chromosomes

behind the syndrome.
