Comments on: 048/2012 The Drug Tester https://susangibb.net/blog3/?p=1393 Flash Fiction by Susan Gibb Fri, 31 Aug 2012 20:52:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: susan https://susangibb.net/blog3/?p=1393#comment-980 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 20:52:45 +0000 http://susangibb.net/blog3/?p=1393#comment-980 Well, they need to test on human subjects and people need money and in the end, it’s a symbiotic relationship that benefits us all. but I did wonder about some of those side effects and potential dangers. Especially the one that “may” have produced cancer when it was being taken for arthritis or some such serious but not fatal affliction.

An easy way for students to collect money. But who knows what effect some of the medicines might have on those young bodies as they age.

I wondered about the people who must participate in the trials before the drug is approved. The “thoughts of suicide” intrigued me, as does one drug that lists “cancer” as a possible side effect. It’s scary!

Religion? Hmmmm.

Voices the fears we didn’t know we had and so succinctly and cleverly. Are there really such ‘testers’? I don’t know but wholly believe in them now.
(Don’t ever think to start a religion will you Susan, please!)
