Synopses & Reviews
This book provides an informative and fascinating exposure of an aspect of human research that has rarely been looked into: the experiences, thoughts, goals and motives of some of the human beings who serve as 'human guinea pigs' for the human research establishment.
Synopsis
From first person accounts of pharmaceutical studies gone bad to intricate medical histories, Guinea Pig Zero provides a fascinating look at the people who sell their bodies to science. While the book provides advice to present-day research subjects (by rating research clinics), the book also provides context by investigating the history and ethics behind this important, but little-known medical industry.
