Help Wanted: Human Guinea Pigs

[2-0-Sixx]

If you've ever wondered why we so rarely hear of drug trials going awry in the United States, it is because we "offshore" the drug trials to developing nations who can't afford to say no.

If you've ever wondered why we so rarely hear of drug trials going awry in the United States, Sonia Shah, author of The Body Hunters: Testing New Drugs on the World's Poorest Patients (The New Press, 2006), has the unattractive answer: we "offshore" the drug trials to developing nations and to those who simply can't afford to say "anywhere but here."

Wow, this type of devaluing of humanity and turning them into lab rats simply due to economic status is sickening. There's no excuse for that, why be so selective about your test subjects? Like the interviewee said, people should be well informed about what they're getting into and properly consent after knowing all of the risk factors, I bet you can find dozens of test subjects here, people will do anything for a dollar here.. That makes no sense other than human life having more value in America than it does in the third world..

if a 1000 of them die in a test gone wrong.. they can cover it up. and we'll be none the wiser..

Think of the lives that could be saved by the sacrifices of a few.

Someone testing the drug is preferable to no one at all testing the drug.

My only issue is why go all the way across the world to get test subjects when you have potential ones here?

Sorry ted haggard I don't speak in tongues; you'll have to translate that into english or in the least try making sense for a change.

Not true. I have participated in drug trials. One I did I spent a week eating well, playing video games and enjoying a work out room. The only shit I didn't like was the shots they gave me in my abdomen. Even with that, I enjoyed my time as if the shit was a vacation.
