Inventing Our Evolution

I read this horrific comment in the Wapo:

"We could really speed up the whole process of drug improvement if we did not have all the rules on human experimentation. If companies were allowed to use clinical trials in Third World countries, paying a lot of poor people to take risks that you wouldn't take in a developed country, we could speed up technology quickly.

Says Francis Fukuyama, a member of the President's Council on Bioethics and director of the Human Biotechnology Governance Project.

If this scientist had any faith in his trade why can't he simply experiment his findings on his own family? They'll be the first ones to benefit after all. A lot of these drugs are no use to poor people because they cannot afford them, poor people have myriad of problems that render the drugs worthless or simply irrelevant.

If wealthy people want new drugs they should experiment them amongst themselves. It is that simple! I'll not bother getting into the racial connotations.
