;
potential antitumor properties of human interferon following the deaths of four
;
patients from heart attacks. The deaths have helped spur a growing debate over
;
whether it is ethical to permit human experimentation on such a large scale
;
before more is known about the effectiveness and side effects of interferon.
;
Concerns have also been expressed that hospitals may have been using unregistered
;
batches of interferon in the government-sponsored trials.
