Obituary
Malini Karkal
Abstract:
"All (that researchers) are concerned about are their results and research. They do not know what it means for the women, practically. For example, for an anaemic woman a contraceptive means 20 days of bleeding. She is bound to feel sick, even though she may be very keen to have a contraceptive. Yet Depo trials will be conducted, simply because the US FDA has cleared Depo! Given such levels of ignorance and a biased attitude it is difficult to speak of ethical aspects of issues in reproductive health." (as I remembered her concerns may not be her words in verbatim)
