They weren't also testing these people with approved methods? Who would sign up for that and how is that legal or ethical? Even if she hadn't been lying these people were gambling their lives against the success of her company.
- fourseventy 5y agoExactly, that is why she is in so much trouble
- ethbr0 5y agoTo be fair, a big reason she probably wasn't convicted on the patient fraud charges (she took the investor fraud charges) was because one of the things she lied about was not testing people with Theranos methods. I.e. what Theranos said "We're testing you using our novel testing systems" vs what Theranos was actually doing "We're testing you using a standard test system" So, most people who got Theranos tests were lied to, but in a way with a more positive outcome for them.
- ted_dunning 5y ago> weren't also testing these people with approved methods? Often not and which method used wasn't disclosed so test results couldn't be sanitized. > Who would sign up for that? Somebody who was lied to. > and how is that legal or ethical? It is neither legal or ethical. > Even if she hadn't been lying these people were gambling their lives You are exactly correct. People were gambling their lives unwittingly.
