That's playing with fire.
You could find yourself standing in front of a courtroom if something goes wrong, or God Forbid, if someone dies, trying to convince a judge and jury with nothing but, "I didn't need government permission".
That's not a good place to be.
- temp0826 2y agoI used to facilitate the use of an alternative medicine (kambo), which could be dangerous if used incorrectly or given to someone with a contraindicated condition. (It has been linked to a few deaths and has recently been banned in Australia). It occurred to me that even a great signed waiver wouldn't save me if something went sideways and decided to stop. I honestly don't think a waiver wouldn't matter in cases like this too.

Why would you worry someone is doing to die testing their typing speed, or filling out an online survey? You've probably conducts numerous Experimental Human Trials over your lifetime - anyone who is even slightly curious and empirical has!

- nxobject 2y ago> Why would you worry someone is doing to die testing their typing speed, or filling out an online survey? No. Because you don’t have to. This seems like a glib answer, but I assure you that, as a university employee in a research unit, I have both tested my typing speed and filled out an online survey. Whataboutism doesn’t help the conversation here become more informed.
