Six people who where subjects of a drug trial are in critical condition. Six Hospitalized in British Drug Trial. This sort of human experimentation goes on all the time under the guise of "clinical trials." How experiments of this sort can be allowed in a so called "civilized" society is explained by the huge amounts of money the pharmaceutical companies pay out to have laws passed to make it okay.
Here are some of the excuses: the trial "adhered to standard clinical research guidelines" (which allow people to be experimented on), "Such an adverse drug reaction occurs extremely rarely and this is an unfortunate and unusual situation" (yeah, like the unusual occurrence of 26 people killing themselves during the trials for Prozac), "These events were completely unexpected and do not reflect the results we obtained from initial laboratory studies" (wow, those must have been really thorough lab studies), "Our immediate priority has been to ensure that no further patients are harmed" (read that as "no further PR is harmed".
