Re: anyone been a subject in a clinical trial?
There is a place called Covance in my hometown which performs clinical trials... They have television and billboard ad campaigns which I feel are intentionally misleading to people unfamiliar with the potential side effects of these experimental drugs, particularly preying upon the economically disadvantaged. You probably won't see anybody in there who doesn't need the money.
The billboards simply say "Most summer jobs aren't this rewarding" in a handwritten font as if someone who did this is recommending it to you... I would like to climb up with a spraycan and write "most jobs don't have side effects either" underneath it.
Additionally, these trials allow pharmaceutical manufacturers like Merck to claim that unsafe products like Vioxx and potentially unsafe ones like Gardasil are clinically tested and proven safe, before sufficient observations have been made in the long run. Then in the ads for the products you have this twilight zone dichotomy of a soothing voice listing off dreadful symptoms and potential reactions that people have experienced.
As a historical footnote, the companies that once made up IG Farben (Bayer, BASF, and other German subsidiaries) are known to have tested and developed pharmaceutical products by experimenting on concentration camp detainees. Today nobody would stand for that, but they haven't ethically evolved much, because the poor are prisoners too in a way, and the few grand they can offer you is a tiny pittance compared to the billions in profit that can be reaped from these drugs.
As long as you understand the risks, your body is your own to use as you see fit. Personally, I wouldn't go near the place without a bulldozer.The Cosmos works by harmony of tensions...Comment

Re: anyone been a subject in a clinical trial?
Serious question because this is something I considered when I was younger. Would you find it weird to know that you could be unknowingly standing next to your kid on the street? I had this vision of me walking down the street and thinking, "Hey, that little dude kinda looks like me." What do you do if the kid decides one day he wants to know who is biological father is and manages to track you down? Man would that be weird.Comment

If I'd meet a kid who looks like you, I'd give him a coupon for the solarium toaster
But you're right though, that's exactly the reason why I don't donate.Comment
