Ben Goldacre's petition to register all trials

A relevant follow up to the last post.  Science critic Ben Goldacre has a new project: a petition to get all trials registered and to enforce reporting deadlines.

Around half of all clinical trials have not been published; some trials have not even been registered. If action is not taken urgently, information on what was done and what was found in trials could be lost forever, leading to bad treatment decisions, missed opportunities for good medicine, and trials being repeated unnecessarily.

Consider signing.
