First they began tearing their shirts off complaining of fever, then some screamed out that their heads felt like they were about to explode.
The head of trainee plumber Ryan Wilson, 21, is three times its normal size and his limbs are purple. Doctors said his chances of survival were slim.

This is horrible! I'm not particularily fond of unneeded animal testing ( with known caustic chemicals ), but I do believe medical testing can be beneficial and less dangerous...for humans.

no idea, but I think it was supposedly an anti-inflammatory

very scary, the Pharma-industry is becoming increasingly volatile to Frankenstein scenarios.

Come on! Do we need 400 different drugs for impotence?

It's money not medicine

ugh. they should just admit that, taken on a consistent basis, fish oil is a better natural anti-inflammatory than any of the artificial lizard piss they're concocting. but nooo. you can't patent that.

My understanding is that this drug had already been tested on animals without this result - at least that was what was being said yesterday, I have not followed this story that closely.

back in the days before i became massively successful [shyeah right!] i considered putting myself up for clinical trials etc.
it sounded like a good deal; anti[insert ailment here] drugs which "shouldn't" harm me, 8/12 weeks in an edinburgh hospital, then return for outpatient testing, £2000 or something.
my mum went nuts when i told her i was thinking about it.
i got an offer for a job that summer which was a fantastic placement so i took that instead - geez, and good job i did too, after reading that ^!
