An Irish religious order that operated maternity homes faces the prospect of a lawsuit over human vaccine trials that took place on babies there in 1960 and 1961.
Mari Steed, born at one of the homes and subsequently adopted by an American couple, discovered information about the vaccine trials as she searched for information about her birth mother. Steed's birth mother says that the experimental vaccine was administered to her daughter without her consent.
Steed and three others involved in the experiment are contemplating a lawsuit against the Sisters of the Sacred Heart and are preparing a class action lawsuit against the drug company GlaxoSmithKline.
