Morris CE, Briggs J, Popper SEAviat Space Environ Med 1997; 68:378-83
Abstract
The reasons for disqualification of human subjects from 1973-93 at Armstrong Laboratory, formerly the Harry G. Armstrong Aeromedical Research Laboratory (AAMRL), are presented for both sustained and impact acceleration panels. Evaluations for both medical and spinal anomalies were accomplished. The rationale for each disqualification is discussed, demonstrating the variability in each panel physician's clinical judgment in the context of personal bias, the ethical framework surrounding the use of human volunteers, and the existing research milieu.
