Being a Guinea Pig

[JohnB]

I'm not much on the idea of being a guinea pig.  

When the warnings on drugs that are on the market say things like "may cause death" and that's after they've gone past the trial stage.... I'll pass on being the reason for such warnings if I can help it.  

Although my favorite warning is "do not take if you are allergic"  it's like well DUH!

But no, I don't see me ever taking part in a trial.  I'd have to be at death's door to willingly participate most likely.

Well said kat   I couldn't agree more

Fair points Kat. Sadly these comments have to go on medication no matter how remote the possibility would be in said action, it's today's litigious environment and the ineptitude of today's society. I mean why would you down a bag of salted peanuts if you were allergic to nuts? Hence the may contain nuts warning.

I still think my decision would depend on the circumstances and information available. I wouldn't rule it out completely.
