Is it true that in America there exist cancer cure trials where half the patients get absolutely nothing? It's illegal in the civilized world because it's unethical as fuck
The placebo effect is strong. Experiments dont work without a controlled variable. The people who do those kinds of drug trials have no treatment options left, like theyre gonna die anyway. I dont see how thats unethical. Its not like doctors decide to just not treat a cancer patient because they need to give someone sugar pills.

The ethical choice is to give half the patients the new drug and the other half the most advanced established cure. Giving them fuckall is sick
>It's illegal in the civilized world because it's unethical as fuck
It is not illegal anywhere retard. BBefore a drugs efficacy can be established it must be compared to a control subject who is getting a placebo
>muh scientific method is unethical
kill yourself
It's not unethical if they volunteer for it

It's more unethical that scientific research is intentionally obstructed because of its capacity to impact long-standing industries.

ITT: Retards
It's only legal for minor illnesses like migraines for example
Again, for stuff like cancer the correct way to do it is to give the new drug to half, and the established cure to the other half.

>and the other half the most advanced established cure
are you retarded? the reason they're part of the trial at all is because the most advanced established cure has already failed.
