RE: Seventeen people are voluntarily hosting parasitic worms in their bodies
Are there any casualties or severe side effect which any of the volunteers had experienced throughout the study period? What about the ethical opinion of this study?
At the moment the study is still running so making conclusions about the side-effects cannot be made. As far as I know, so far there were only a few rashes and slight fever experienced.
And I do not know anything about the ethical opinion, but I'd assume as it got going it probably had to go through some ethical judgment.
I see. I mean the complication of that parasite infestation could be fatal. I wonder if 1200 USD is an insufficient amount compare to the risk imposed.
I understand your point.
But I'm not here to make such a judgment (and even if I did, it would be worth nothing as I am not a medical ethician). I just report on these things because I find them interesting.
I understand that.
Professionally maybe, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion/judgement. You can make all judgement that you want. That's how you learn.
