Astra Zeneca near me take you in for a few days and take samples of various hair and skin etc for a nominal amount, think you can only do it once every few months though

13k a year for a few weeks worth of work, isnt too bad really...

could have a "proper" job aswell as it were, and take drugs on the side for 13 carrot.

But aye, bit riské for my liking.

At least they're paying people.
Not like the Yanks testing anthrax on the New York subway during the late 40's and 50's.
Or Her Majesty's government and their Nuclear tests in the Bikini Atoll during the fifties/mind you the unsuspecting service personel were all equiped with suitable protection at the time/Bermuda shorts, Raybans and flipflops.....!

I have done and still participate in drug trials.

Recent events will not change my views or stop me from taking part in drug trials. Yes there is a certain amount of risk BUT recent events are VERY VERY rare. The worst it normally may get is a rash or headaches.

I dont know the full story of the poor guys who are ill from the trial, but AFAIK there were other volunteers on the same trial who are OK who were in at the same time.

All medicine needs human trials, the same as it needs animal testing. I am not agreeing that its right to test on animals, but unfortunatly its a part of drug production and testing.

Fair play mate, you're right about all that except testing on animals is just not fair.

I tried to get my dog to sit the Geography GCSE and he was so stressed he didn't get passed question 6.

i do it n the worst thing that ever happened to me was i felt light headed after they fitted the canula! there are loads of different studies to do i usually do small ones that dont require much time in the hospital and ive got anything from 50quid just for a couple mls of blood all the way up to 1200 for a 4day study! it doesnt bother me about those ill people something must have gone seriously wrong for that to happen, this is the first time ive heard it happenening in the 3years ive been doing em so im gonna carry on!
