The study concluded a number of results, the most important are: There is no law that comprehensively regulates the conduct of scientific experiments in Sudan in a way that protects the person subject to the experiment, with the exception of some texts regulating drug experiments that were contained in the Pharmacy and Poisons Law2009, and the Constitution of Sudan did not prohibit the conduct of scientific experiments; rather, he encouraged it. He recommended the inevitability of the intervention of the Sudanese legislator to organize scientific experiments in special legislation on the guidance of what international agreements have reached.
