A few days ago I saw a movie called BloodWork (2012)

From an entertainment perspective the movie althogh is not a hit it!s a good movie"

#he film is a$ot some volnteers who entered to a pharma stdy with a very good salary to test a newmedicine% $t they got terri$le side&effects"

If this doesn!t happen in the real world it wold $e science fiction% nfortnately it!s something thathappens and is totally real% We know a$ot the infamos and crel e'periments on syphilis many yearsago of corse these e'periments had tragic conse*ences"

Another case a few years ago occrred in +,A% the -ornalist .iam ,cheff did a great investigationdocmented the crel e'periments that were made in an orphanage in the +nited ,tates with yongchildren with the poisonos drgs sed to treat /I/

And of corse they have taken place many other cases of this kind of e'periments that are illegal%inhman and deadly% they don!t have any -stification"

I have a personal anecdote in 200 I was working in a compter school% and one day aco worker asked me if I want to win a good money3From the $eginning of his *estion I saw this very sspicios% and I asked him what want to tell me"

e told me that he was working in a Big 4harma company like volnteer giving his $ody to testmedicines and their side effects in the long&term% he said me that he was receiving many in-ections ofthese medicines"

e offered me to participate as a /volnteer/ in pharmacetical e'periments in which theyin-ect approved medicines to see possi$le long&term reactions% he also told me thata compter teacher who was working in this school was participating in these /e'periments/ and withthis money was paying the +niversity"

#his person told me that the pay was 5%000 pesos per day (6278 +,9) which is a very attractive salaryin a contry like :e'ico where 2; of workers earn very poor salaries"

Also told me that this people for each day when yo stay in their $ilding they provided yo threemeals per day% yor own room with $ed and #% and they make yo a complete clinical and $lood teststo check yor health $efore yo enter to the e'periments"
