DICKENS -- read once and referred to the Commit- tee on Ways and Means AN ACT to amend the public health law, in relation to prohibiting the use of live human subjects on the dental licensing examination THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Section 2440 of the public health law, as added by chapter 450 of the laws of 1975, is amended to read as follows: § 2440. Policy and purpose. The use of human subjects in medical research projects has brought about many beneficial scientific advances resulting in the increased health and well-being of the human race. Safeguarding the rights and welfare of individual human subjects in the conduct of these human research projects is a matter of vital state concern. Every human being has the right to be protected against the possible conduct of medical or psychological research upon his body without his voluntary informed consent. Human research may effect dangerous and unanticipated results causing irreversible damage to the human subject. Accordingly, it shall be the policy of this state to protect its people against the unnecessary and improper risk of pain, suffering or injury resulting from human research conducted without their knowledge or consent. IN ADDITION, THE USE OF LIVE HUMAN SUBJECTS AS SURGICAL SUBJECTS UPON WHOM UNLICENSED PERSONS OPERATE AS PART OF THE STATE DENTAL PROFESSIONAL LICENSING EXAMINATION IS CONTRARY TO THE POLI- CY OF THIS STATE TO PROTECT LIVE HUMAN SUBJECTS FROM UNNECESSARY AND IMPROPER RISK OF PAIN, SUFFERING OR INJURY. SUCH LIVE HUMAN SUBJECTS USED FOR SURGICAL PURPOSES ON THE STATE DENTAL LICENSING EXAMINATION ARE ENTITLED TO THE SAME PROTECTIONS AS ANY OTHER LIVE HUMAN RESEARCH SUBJECT. IN ADDITION, THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF THESE LIVE HUMAN SUBJECTS SUBJECTED TO SURGERY BY UNLICENSED PERSONS AS PART OF THE STATE DENTAL LICENSING EXAMINATION COME FROM THE POOR AND MINORITY COMMUNITIES OF THE STATE. NEITHER MEDICINE NOR PODIATRY, THE ONLY OTHER SURGICAL EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
