Doctor kills sister with unlicenced drug
Oxford graduate died after being injected with experimental drug by sister
Scotland Yard has investigated the death of a 22-year-old Oxford University graduate who collapsed after being injected with an experimental anti-ageing drug by her sister.
If there is not a law to cover this sort of situation why isn't there?
The last person I would have thought needed an anti-ageing drug is a 22-year-old woman. That a doctor administered a drug which the person did not need for medical reasons must be questionable. The drug is unlicenced, still in the experimental stage. "Dr Pambakian rejected the suggestion that they were taking part in a drugs trial". However, I would suggest that that is exactly the case because there is not any other logical explanation for the conduct of the participants. That the doctor also had links to the drug company shows a conflict of interests. Even if it is legal I would say it is highly unethical and the conduct should be condemned by the Medical Council of Great Britain.
