Fake company gets approval for risky trial - New Scientst
- ensignavenger 18y ago2 out of 3 rejected the trail. Now, all 3 will likely be subject to increased government regulation. If the past serves as any indication, this regulation will be cumbersome, ill-thought out, and expensive. Now, I'm not saying I am totally opposed to Government oversight, but this just illustrates a larger problem in our system- a few bad apples cause the entire system to fall apart and forces many good companies to jump through hoops and raise the cost burden on consumers. Now, in this particular case- shouldn't the FDA be overseeing this?
- biohacker42 18y agoThe risk/reward equation in health care research is completely out of whack. Obviously researching drugs, medical devices, etc, can kill people. But my god, the greater benefits we could have if testing a new drug didn't cost BILLIONS.
