Medical Trials

Ever done one?

Ever do one?

You can "earn" up to £3000 for a 3 week trial here.

That's a tempting amount for a poor student like me.

Not sure I'd risk my health for cash though.

But on the flip side, I smoke, I have taken recreational drugs in the past.

I can't imagine it is any LESS safe than that!!! And this would potentially help people.....

Hmmmm.

Opinions, thoughts?

I don't know... I guess it depends what it is.

I would be hoping I got the placibeo and be part of the control group
but hey I sold my plasma for quick cash before...though i dont know about drugs

3000 p..p..p..p..ounds? Holy Moly! Wait, I'll come, we can do it together! Hmm...seriously, though... do you know what it is for? It seems like a lot of money for a 3 week trial.. me thinks there has to be a nasty reason why they pay so much?

If you are considering a clinical trial for the money, please remember Jesse Gelsinger:

def depends on the kind of trial. I dont know how it is there, but from what my dad has told me, the precautions that are taken here in the US are crazy...so while there are always gonna be risks, the chance of something happening is pretty rare.

I dont know, personally I try to stay away from pharmaceutical drugs and stuff, so something that is paying off that much, I might be a little wary about.

Can ya tell us what the study is!??

Is isn't one specific one - you can volunteer for lots of different ones, and the price they pay varies on the test!!

I don't think I will be dabbling - they like post menopausal and sterile women which I think says a lot

hmm

Anyone know any places like this in the US? I'd be all for being rendered sterile--no more BC ever! LOL!
