People are stupid.
Stupid people sign up for experiments that pay money.
Stupid people then find out they have cancer or the like from said drug.
But stupid people signed a release form, so its all good right?
Many laws are to protect stupid people. I don't agree with this because I enjoy reading Darwin awards, but thats how it is. If this were allowed then stupid people would sooner or later be exploited by taking something that turned out to be very bad for them but sounded good in the lab.
I think the FDA could do a lot to speed up how these things go, but right now you won't see anything where just anyone can sign up for an experimental drug without a LOT of prior testing.
