[Research Ethics Committees--who is to represent the community?].
The Swedish Government has proposed a law for the ethical regulation of research on human beings. The proposal entails changes in the composition of Research Ethics Committees with regard to community representation. A study indicates that healthcare staff with no ties to research would appear to merit particular public confidence, as would representatives of the legal profession, moral philosophers and priests.
