Parents sue Medical College over study methods

Medical College of Wisconsin researchers deceived a Sun Prairie couple into participating in a cystic fibrosis research study and then lied to them about their baby’s health, the family’s attorney said Monday in Dane County Circuit Court. Among those on the witness list are two investigators on the project: Norman Fost, a University of Wisconsin-Madison bioethicist, and Philip Farrell, dean of the UW Medical School.
