If you needed the cash, would you take the risk of not knowing how the drugs might react with your body.
I would be amazed if anyone other than the financially desperate, the terminally ill, and insane people volunteered. |

50 percent of them are placebos so if the money was right I'd give it a bash in the interest of medical science. I am far from financially insecure, terminally I'll ( to my knowledge ) and I'd like to think I'm as sane as the next person |

Im glad that people take part in these trials,that they assist in the research to cure disease and help relieve symptons of long term and debilitating conditions
Would I do it? no! Not after the catastrophe a few yrs ago at Northwick Park |

When my Daughter was born with massive complications I was offerd the chance to sign up to a trial or have the ameoba (if thats the correct word, basically saline solution).
Thankfully she must of had the drug and it worked wonders (she made a 99% recovery) for her and due to her and others Im sure the drug has been a huge success.
It was through pure desperation/nothing to lose that I agreed in the first place |

"Am on one at this time.
12onth trial and only 6 weeks left to go.
Not all pay loads of cash either.
 "

Yes I would. Especially if it was one which could cure Endometriosis.
I understand the risks, but I think that if we are going to move forward in medical sciences then there needs to be people willing to volunteer.

I did take part in a medical trial which was originally for 3 years but was extended for seven. It was to monitor the effects of high levels (80mg) of simvastatin in the treatment of blood pressure. 50 % were on placebos 50 in the drug
At end of trial we were able to find out which we had been on. I had been on the simvastatin n am still on 80 mg today 5 years later |

It wouldn't be about the cash. If I believed it could/ would help advance medical science, I'd give it a go.
I've left my body to the anatomists but they can't guarantee to take it - all down to storage space at the time you die apparently. |

I've had pneumonia a couple of times of late. On one occasion I was given a heart scan before discharge. I spent the next few weeks telling people I had endometriosis.
I actually had endocarditis. |

When I was younger I took part in a number of mountain medicine studies, the risks were quite high there...
Plus being bipolar if an opportunity came along to be part of a medical trial for a new generation of anti-psychotic with less side effects than the one I take now I would not hesitate to volunteer! |
