[ cheers and applause ] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is resesnsible for its caption content and accuracy. Visit ncicap. Org] sharyl hello. Im sharyl attkisson. Welcome to full measure. Today we begin with a question of human testing and the dilemma posed by the need to do research for the greater good and the right of human test subjects to know exactly what t eyre our incredible story begins in 2004 with a federal study of 1300 extremely premature infants. Some parents say had no idea they agreed to a risky experiment that could injure or kill their babies. Little dreshan cook came into the e rld at 1 lb. , 11 oz. , fighting for his life. His mother sharrissa was barely six months pregnant when he was born. Sharrissa cook i remember the night that i went into labor, i was a hysterical wreck. I was afraid, i was scared, i was in shock. Sharyl how big was he, do you remember . Sharrissa he would fiin your hand. Sharyl shortly after his birth at the university of alabama at birmingham, sharrissa agreed t t enroll dreshan in a study called support. She says the hospital gave the impression she was simply signing up to get support in caring for a preemie. Your thought was, when you signed the papers, that what was going to happen . Sharrissa that my son would be given the best care possible and that even with his prematurity being as extreme as it was, that it would be okay because i had all of this help. Sharyl she had no clue, she says, that the support study was actually a National Experiment on the most fragile of test subjects 1300 extremely premature infants. Bernita lewis also agreed to enroll her baby, christian, in hospital. Bernita christian was born at 27 weeks. Sharyl how much did he weigh . Bernita he was 1 lb, 9 oz. He was very tiny. Sharyl she says a hospital worker told her the study was just to collect data. Bernita she asked would i be interested in christian being in a study. They wanted to use his medical records to help babies in the future. And i told them absolutely, they could use any records they wanted to use. Sharyl did she tell you there was a possible risk of death . Bernita no, there were no risks discussed. Sharyl support stands for Surfactant Positive Airway Pressure and Pulse Oximetry randomized trial. Funded with 20. 8 million tax dollars, it was a collaboration among the national institus of health and two Dozen Research bodies, including duke and yale universities and medical schools. Researchers had good intentions. They already knew that without get brain damaged or die. But too much oxygen, they could go blind. The support study was searching for the sweet spot. Dr. John lantos the question is what level of oxygen would be optimumuin order to save as many babies as possible without blind . Sharyl to find out, the infants were randomly assigned, as with the flip of a coin, to either a low oxygen group or a high oxygen group. The study reached a tragic and conclusion the babies in the high oxygen group were more likely to go blind. Those unlucky enough to have been put in the low oxygen group were more likely to die. When the findings became known, Similar Research around the world was halted midstream. Bioethicist dr. John lantos defendnd the support studydys an Expert Witness against families who unsuccessfully sued for damages, including bernita and sharrissa. Dr. Lantos this was a study that was w wldesigned, conducted to the highest ethical standards, with a completely adequate consent that was conducted without harming any finding thats gonna save lots of liviv. Sharyl on nearly every point, dr. Michael carome disagrees. Hes an internationally recognized expert on Research Ethics at the Watchdog Group public citizen. Whats wrong with what they did in the study, in your view . Dr. Carome the parents of these babies werent told the exact purpose of the research,h,he natureref the research, in terms of how experimental it was, and the risks of the research. Sharyl adding to the controversy, researchers didnt tell parents a remarkable fact they had altered the infants oxygen monitors to give false readings so the hospital wouldnt adjust them outside of their assigned low or high oxygen range. Babies in the study were put on oxygen monitors that were rigged to give untrue or false readings . Dr. Carome that is correct. Sharyl in terms of things that have happened in the past, how bad is this . Dr. Carome i think this is bad as it gets. Dr. Lantos it seems to me that theres a lot of second guessing, arm chair quarterbacking, and playing gotcha here. Sharyl the debateteould be purely academic if it werent for an extraordinary turn of events after questions were raised, the Government Agency that polices study ethics sided with critics and issued a searing indictment of the governmentled study. In a letter in 2013, the office for Human Research protections told researchers they violated federal regulations for informed consent for their failururto describe the reasonably foreseeable risks of blindness, neurological damage, and death. Dr. Carome was once a Senior Leader at the office f f Human Research protections. The Ethics Office was in essence saying these consent forms were unethical . Dr. Carome absolutely. Sharyl the concept of informed consent arose from an american tragedy the u. S. Governments syphilis experiment on blackcken in tuskegee,e,labama in 1932. For 40 years, the men were syphilis. An outcry in 1972 led to new rules. Researchers are now required to disclose risks to test subjects and get their voluntary informed consent. And studies like support must be approved by ethics experts where the research is conducted. These were prestigious institutions and the federal government. How does Something Like this slip past everybody . Dr. Carome that i ia great concern of ours. We looked at the consent forms from 22 institutions and they all failed in their duty to protect human subjects in this study. Dr. Lantos most of the criticism is not coming from parents, but from regulators who, in my opinion, dont really oxygen therapy. Sharyl when the support parents learned ababt the true risks, the surviving study children were six years old. What thoughts did you have . Sharrissa it was really emotional. A lot of cryinin a lot of disbelief, a lot of heartache, and then it was anger. Im his mom, you know, im supposed to protect him, but it was almost like i threw him out to the wolves, you know. Bernita i was angry. And i couldnt believe that some people who vowed, who took oaths to protect people would actually do this. That was mindbogglili. Sharyl if you had been told the risks involved and what they were really going to do, would you have signed him up . Bernita absolutely not. No. Sharyl yet there were no apologies. Instead, t t support researchers made a bold, new claim thats particularly controversial they said the for having been in the study. Dr. Lantos the risks of not being in that study were comparable to the risks of being in that study and perhaps even higher. Sharyl dr. Carome argues thats simply wrong. Dr. Carome theres no d dbt that some babies, because they were in the study, died as a result. Sharyl amid the criticism, the support researchers and National Institutes of health dug inin theyeyaunched a Public Campaign of opinion letters and meetings to attack the office for Human Research protections and pressured it to suspend enforcement action. The sensational claims of calling people unethical further detract from the serious dr. Carome the research community, many in the Bioethics Community and nih, have rallied together to defend this unethical research, and so thats part of the problem. Sharyl today, dreshan and christian are both nine and doing well considering their challenges. But they have many lingering health struggles, from respiratory problems to brain disorders. The support study factors in. Bernita we dont know if it would have happened anyway, or if it was caused by this. And its just a game of just wondering. Arissa he was born n emature, at 25 weeks. So, we could expect some things, but to know that some others could have been prevented, you know, that makes me angry. And so, to the doctors or to the researchers, best thing i can say is shame on you. Sharyl more than 80 years after the tuskegee experiments, the support study has reopened painful wounds and is raising questions as to whether the protections for human test subjects are fundamentally flawed. Those whove conducted this study and the federal government at large have basically said they dont think they did anything wrongng sharrissa i dont see how anyone can say nothing was wrong with babies. Babies who had no say so, no choice, no anything, just trying to survive. Sharyl numerous support researchers, the National Institutes of health or nih, and the university of birmingham at alabama declined our intview requests. After the study revealed more deaths among babies on low oxygen, the American Academy of peatrics issued new to surviveve recommendations to keep preeeees on the upper end of the oxygen curve. In other words, doctors should not do what the support researchers did to half of the babies. Still ahead on full measure this eleleion year will be the most expxpsive in history. Well tell you where the money. Sharyl litical march madness is about to begin. N. Tuesday,y,oters in more than a a dozen ststes will caucus or cast primary ballots in the 2016 president ial contest. So many delegates are at stake that it is known as super tuesday. Super tuesday has a super price tag as well. Millions of dollars will be spent to attract voters. Scott thuman followed the money to find out where all that cash is coming from. Washington isisroken. Im fighting for you. No excuses, no surrender. Scott from the Television Ads to Campaign Events across the country od bless the great state of nevada. Scott running for president is expensive even for a billionaire. Mr. Trum im funding mywn im putting in a fortune and spending a lot of money. Scott and a lot of socalled outside money is b bng pumped into this campaigngnycle. Thats money spent by organizations other than the campaigns of the candidates. According to the federal election commission, the 2016 president ial candidates and the outside popotical groups supporting them combined have raised nearly 1 billion so far. With nearly half of that money 45 coming from sosoalled supepepacs, outside groups that cacasupport candidates but are not allowed to coordinate with their campaigns. And theres no legal limit to the amount of cash super pacs can raise or spend. So, where is all that money coming from . On the democrats s se hillararclinton has raised 184. 1 million according to the center for responsive politics. 57 million of that is outside money with 50 million alone from priorities usa,a,he super pac that helped get president obama reelected in 2012. Its top individual donor for this election, at 6 million philanthropist and political activist george soros. Bernie sanders has raised 95. 4 million nearly all from direct campaign contributions. Sanders has negligible super pac backing. His biggest chunk of outside support is 1. 7 million from the Union National nurses united. Sen. Sanders american democracy is not supposed to be about billionaires buying elections. Scott among the Top Republicans donald trump has 27 million fueling his president ial bid with 70 of that money coming from the candidate himself. Trumps biggest outside money, 1. 8 million, comes from the super pac, make America Great again. Ted cruz has 101 1 llion cking his campaign w wh nearly 50 million coming from outside groups, including four super pacs that share the same name keep the promise. Their biggest donor is listed in billionaire wilks brothers, at 15 million, who made a fortune ininracking. Thank you very much. I appreciated. Scott marco rubio rounds out the top three gop contenders with 77 million in his war chest. 34 million of those dollars are from outside groups. The biggest chunk, 32. 9 million, from conservative Solutions Pac its biggest donor is a luxury car aler in south florida braman motorcars. But money alone cant guarantee a candidate will win the nomination. Just ask jeb bush. The former Florida Governor far outraised ch of the top three republicics who are still in t t race 152 million with some 118 million coming from the super pac right to rise. Sharyl and all that money gone. Thanks, scott. Scott still ahead on full measure we read the political funny pages and talk with some of the happiest people in america the political cartoonists who see this election as a gift. And the president s push to close guantanamo. Well talk to one influential senator who gives a simple sharyl at president bamas last state of ththunion, he reaffirmed a commitment that was part of his First Campaign to close Guantanamo Bay. This week, he announced how he would do it and why. Pres. Obama for many years, its been clear that the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay does not advance our National Security it undermines it. Sharyl the plan is a blueint to disperse the 91 remaining detainees, the last of nearly 800 who have either entered or exited since 2002. Of the 91, 35 would be transferred to other countries. The rest, deemed to be too dangerous to release, would be moved to a facility, yet to be named, in the United States. The white house claims closing guantanamo would have an added bonus of saving g tween 65 million and 85 million a year. Pres. Obama keeping this facility open is contrary to our values. It undermines our standing in it is viewed as a stain on o o broader record of upholding the highest standards of rule of law. Sharyl among those vying to be the next in the oval office sen. Rubio we are not going to close guantanamo. Donald trump we are going too loaded u uwith some bad dudes,s, believe e. Sen. Cruz expand it and lets have some new terrorists there. Senator sanders i think we should shut down guantanamo. In the long run, it will help us. Mrs. Clinton we dont need guantanamo hanging out there over our heads. Sharyl wednesday, attorney general Loretta Lynch testified before congress and confirmed highest standards of rule of law. That transferring detainees to the law. President obama has not been successful in closing gitmo office. Recently, we spoke with senator lindsey graham, who sits on both the appropriations and Armed Services committees, who explained why its not likely to close now. How can it be stopped . Sen. Graham because Congress Wont let it. Theres no way youre going to bring guantanamo detainees inside america without a plan approved by the congress. Three years ago, i sat in the oval office with the president offered to help him close gitmo under one condition that the people who are brought into the recently, we spoke with senator lindsey graham, who sits on both United States be held under the held indefinitely without trial, no requirement in a war to let prisoners go as long as theyre dangerous. We couldnt get there, so, at the end of the day, the only reason Guantanamo Bay is not closed is because president obama would not tell the left something they didnt want to hear. Sharyl president obama has shown, though, that he doesnt need your approval, hasnt he . Sen. Graham yes, he would. There would be no Funds Available to transport the prisoners from Guantanamo Bay into the u. S. We cant make policies, were not commanders in chiefs, but we do control the purse strings. I dont see any scenario where the congress would agree to fund to transfer the prisoners and set up a new jail. These are not common criminals. Theyre enemy combatants, the hardest of the hard. Back to the fight of americans and our allies. They need to stay in jail. Sharyl logistically, could he not empty out the prison before he tells you hes done so . Sen. Graham no. Hed have to have funds to move them. Sharyl but hes released prisoners before without telling you in advance. Sen. Graham hes repatriated prisoners to third countries not inside the u. S. Sharyl can he do that with all of them . Sen. Graham no, theres no way that hes going to be able 49 are deemed by his own administration to be too dangerous to release. Sharyl do you think congress will take some kind of proactive action to tell him not to . O . Sen. Graham i think theres going to be a bipartisan rejection to president obamas call to move people inside the United States given the conditions we face throughout the world. Wherevev you put these prisoners, they become a magnet for terrorist attacks. There is talk about moving them to charleston. I can tell you this, theres not a snowballs chance in hell that any of these detainees are coming to the brig in charleston, period. Shshyl that brig in charleston is in senator the other two potential locations to ship guantanamo prisoners are in kansas and colorado. Coming up on full measure something is seriously funny. Well see some of the editorial cartoons inspired by this election and talk with one
