Guinea Pigs For New Drugs? (45)
daniela777: If you were young and healthy and needed money, would you volunteer as a guinea pig for some new drug, having been convinced that you could save thousands of lives?
I recently saw an article/YouTube regarding drug testing in the UK, which proved to be very interesting indeed!
They recruited 8 volunteers to take part. It involved a 3-day stay in their clinic, paying them 2000 pounds (this was a few years ago!).
Although the drug had previously been tested on monkeys – with no ill effect - it was the first time on humans.
Unfortunately, after 5mn of being administered intravenously, the drug had some unforeseen serious side effects leaving two of the patients in a critical condition for some months.
As for the others, they slowly recovered after some terrible side effects.
The question is: will they have permanent organ damage?

I'm not sure. I'm not a stranger to drugs but experimental is experimental. Depend on the amount of money being paid and what the drug is for.Would YOU do it.?

It's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it. Like being in the army only with more of a point.I recently saw an article/YouTube regarding drug testing in the UK, which proved to be very interesting indeed!

Truly I don't think you can knock anyone whether its for the money or good intentions to help folk, these drugs have to be tested and volunteering is best way to go.

Yes...but it wasn't given to people who HAD leukemia..It was tested on people who didn't in order to help those who had.
First they test it on monkeys...then on healthy humans

Hi Rex 
True...it's like being a blood donor. Those people are needed.
But...in the above case...something went wrong and the NHS weren't even informed of the experiment.
They were no specialists or surgeons there and the patients had to be taken to the nearest hospital.
Apparently...they sued the clinic.

MisterForYou: How large?
I suppose it varies...on the drug tested..the country where it's done..In this case it was 2000 pounds.

Actually that's given me an idea. Professional test subjects with the best DNA and the most disciplined track record who can stand up better to each trial meaning you don't need so many volunteers and your subjects are more likely to recover. Like Special Forces guinea pigs.
