Very disturbing article about a drug test gone horribly horribly wrong. May be more than you can stand to read. Should be read anyway.

When I was in grad school, I signed up for drug trials all the time, but only for very select ones, mostly drugs that were on the market that were being tested for diurnal variances in metabolism, therapeutic doses, etc. Even with those limited criteria and close monitoring, I found myself on something that felt like speed.

Drug testing is NEVER inocuous. Never. But the money tempts. Animal data only suggests effects so far.

It doesn't make any sense that they could continue after the first case of such an unepxected event.
