Abstract
[Extract]
Higgins’ et al recent paper presents a well-thought ethical analysis of the problems associated with the publication of unethical transplant research. More generally, research ethics committees never allow the use or reuse of data that has been collected without their required approval. Similarly, in many judicial settings, evidence is generally inadmissible when it is gathered illegally. Thus, journals and other publishers should follow in their footsteps and also roadblock any associated publications.
