title: [Need for revision to the December 20, 1988 law relative to the protection of persons participating in biomedical research (Huriet's law)].
abstract: In France, biomedical research is governed by the law on the protection of people who participate in biomedical research passed on December 20, 1988. Considering that this law is becoming an obstacle to some useful investigations, 50 scientific societies, organizations, and patients associations have written a memorandum asking for its revision. This memorandum contains propositions for alleged procedures while preserving the welfare of people who participate in biomedical research.
