Description
Gary Goldman writes an editorial on locked doors in sudden infant death research. His 2026 piece starts from a plain point: an unexplained infant death does not prove no biology lies beneath. While shaping a grant study, he reached out to collection sites and met stalls at every step: staffing, workflow, sign-off, liability, lab reach, and storage. No site gave even a hedged yes.
Law in two states framed part of the maze. Goldman floats a small, voluntary pilot on standing research networks to test whether routine investigations can gather specimens without slowing exams or body release. Feasibility, not any pet theory, is the prize.
