Why we gotta wait until 2024 to start clinical trials? There’s lots of ppl dying right now who would probably like to be experimented on like this today. What have they got to lose? We are so cautious with trials bc we don’t want to do harm but dgaf about harm being done by our lack of cures

Because people are only allowed to take experimental medicine for diseases which arent likely to kill you apparently. But cancer? A disease which is orders of magnitude more deadly. Sorry.. you need to wait 15+ years for the research to pan out.. meanwhile dogs and other animals are being cured left and right, but you're not even allowed to take a chance..

Yea the way they do it is all fucked up. I’m surprised people can accept it the way it is. I guess they don’t really think about it

Often times people don't think about it before it's too late. My brother has a friend from college who got Glioblastoma. Luckily, he's still alive, but his opinion of the FDA and medical regulation took a nose dive once he had to experience it for himself.

Partly money, partly safety. Mostly safety. A bad medical trial can go very bad.

Can’t be worse than dying of cancer, at least there’s a chance of surviving. I’m pretty sure we slow down medical progress on purpose simply bc our society can’t handle overly rapid change even if it’s positive change
