Subjecting Yourself to Experimental Meds (Score 1)

Just one more permutation of natural selection. Except in Kansas, of course. Of course it should be obvious that entry into any of these NIH/NCI trials IS under the supervision of a physician. The difficulty is that they usually don't know you like your usual doc, and therefore the trial could be contraindicated and/or simply dangerous. But hey, the pharmaceutical industry found that circumventing your usual doctor is very effective. Why? Only because gullible people everywhere signed on. Bottom line, predators don't exist without prey. In the words of Bill Frist and Tom DeLay, "Let Us Prey." Gives a whole new meaning to it, doesn't it?
