They became responsible when they agreed to the trials in the first place. If they'd done as much research into the trial they were going to take part in as those who were conducting the trial, maybe they wouldn't have been enticed so much by the £2000 on offer.
They didn't think anything was going to happen to them, that's why they took the money. The drug company didn't know anything of the sort was going to happen, that's why they'd spent so much time and money on a drug that they thought would be of benefit to humans, as well as their bank balance.
To now want compensation is a disgrace. It just about sums up society today; sue them and make money. That seems to be they way it's going; get as much money as you can for as little effort as possible.
Unfortunately these people were the unlucky ones. All those people who've been paid by the drug companies who've not had an adverse reaction should therefore pay back the money they received because no harm came to them, by your reckoning that is.
You GET your money, you take your chance.
GREED, the downfall of man! |
