What's that old joke about mice benefiting from all the research but not humans? Maybe we can switch back to (this time voluntary) human experimentation at some point.
- teddyh 4y agoIf human experimentation was that more useful, wouldn’t a lot more scientific results be available from countries with more lax laws against it?
- xwdv 4y agoProblem is those countries suck at research.
- runnerup 4y agoMost likely a small handful of backwater countries would allow it. Most of the test subjects would get $500 from pharma giants and horrible disabilities from the side effects. There would be local organizations owned by relatives of politicians that would be statutorially required to be used for oversight, coordination, recruitment, etc. The rulers of the country would take 99% of the profits and 0% of the costs. Think Tuskegee syphilis experiments or Dengvaxia.
