Would you prefer we test these things on humans?
Yes. I would prefer we test all drugs on humans as soon as volunteers can be found and the researcher thinks it would be beneficial.
I am assuming a volunteer free from political or even financial pressure, doing it out of desire to help. And possessing great and detailed knowledge of the side effects and both the known and potential dangers. I admit this is a bit of a straw man.
There are two reasons I want this.
1. Political. I am a libertarian and and thus think that if an adult wants to jump off a bridge they should be fully within their right to do that. The same goes if they want to test completely unproven or even fully known to be unsafe drugs.
2. Practical. This would speed up research tremendously, it would speed things up by years. We would save more lives.
