Default Would you do clinical trials for money?

I saw an advert on Facebook for a place called FluCamp, so I visited their website and basically, they administer you the common cold virus and you have to stay in bed monitored for 12 days (with no visitors). You get paid up to £3500 for it, but the thing that puts me off is all the blood tests etc that they have to do. I hate needles! Have you or would you ever try something like this?

I saw a horror movie based around those trials. I probably would do it if I was that in need of the money.

common cold wouldn't be too bad I suppose that said would you really want to feel rough for 12 days if you didn't have to, and 12 days in bed, sounds great but you would probably be stir crazy after a few days, and yeah there have been horror stories but they have been with drugs administered this looks like flu virus so just the flu jab with active virus instead of inactive one, I might if I needed cash, what can go wrong as long as it is just common cold of course..

I don't know. 12 days in bed for £3, 500 sounds decent but it's not your own bed, you can't see anyone and it could go wrong.

I reccomend people doing **** like this because recruiting is so ****ing difficult haha.

I'd imagine they're gonna give half the participants a placebo so they can test the effectiveness of some new drug against a baseline probs. 50% chance of easy money, 50% chance of suffering. Worth it!

I'd have a cold for 3.5k, why not.

I wouldn't touch anything involving experimental drugs, though .

bear in mind the side effects that all the commonly available drugs have AFTER having gone through clinical trials. Multiply that 100 fold at least and you are getting close to the potential side effects you may experience. Also, how many drugs have been discontinued after 10 or 20 years in the field, and you are accepting the risk of trying something not on the market yet. If your life depended on it, its worth the risk, otherwise ... don't go near it
