WHEREAS, the National Pituitary Agency, a non-profit corporation
headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, has been engaged in the worthwhile project
of collecting human pituitary glands for a period of nearly twenty years; and
WHEREAS, the purpose for collecting these glands is to extract human growth
hormone which is the only agent which will affect the growth of humans; and
WHEREAS, this agent is used to treat children during the growth period of
between 13 and 17 years who are essentially normal in every other characteristic
except height; and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office wishes to participate
in this worthwhile project; and
WHEREAS, such participation would consist of collecting pituitary glands
from bodies of persons autopsied by the Medical Examiner's Office where written
consent is obtained from the next of kin.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Medical Examiner's
Office be authorized to participate in the National Pituitary Agency Program
provided that a written consent form is secured in each case from the next of
kin or the individual legally and financially responsible for the funeral arrangements.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the handling fee of $2.00 per gland paid by
the National Pituitary Agency be paid into the General Fund of the County when
received.
