10 deaths with placebo... Medical ethics are confusing. Maybe this field needs more oversight. Especially on the corporate level.

Medical ethics are confusing. Maybe this field needs more oversight. Especially on the corporate level.
- tsol 5y agoPatients enrolling in a clinical trial know they may get the placebo control. It wouldnt be more ethical to give it to all patients as in the case the medication does have a side effects you are only guaranteeing everyone gets hurt. As House put it-- >Just to shortcut this discussion.. People should not be testing drugs because they're desperate. But, people won't test drugs unless they're desperate. We need drugs to save children and puppies, ergo we need desperate people, ergo welfare kills sick children.
- ganzuul 5y agoHas anybody said anything as insightful about preventative medicine?
- gonational 5y agoIt's almost as if we could just let people make and live by their own medical decisions. We've got one case in recent history of an argument about "you're making decisions that affect me", and it turns out that this entire argument is bunk because the "vaccines" do not prevent the spread. So it's purely a personal decision about your own health. And pertaining to clinical trials, if I want to sign up for a clinical trial for a what might be a placebo for a great white shark bite in the midriff, that's my own choice. If I die because of this choice, that's my fault.
