Bone Marrow Transplantation
|April 1, 1993
Abstract:
A legal moot (mock trial) was held in London in the Middle Temple Hall on Saturday 31 October 1992 to debate the place of BMT in sickle cell disease. The exact wording of the motion, which allowed a very full discussion to take place, was as follows: Bone marrow transplantation should forthwith be offered to all children in the UK with symptomatic sickle cell anaemia who have HLA compatible siblings.
