Physician investigators, their academic institutions, and institutional review boards (IRBs) all come under the influence of funding sponsors, whose interests conflict with the best interest of children. Children cannot rely on IRBs or on any of the existing research oversight agencies to protect them, for research too often takes inordinate risks in the name of the greater good
