    A researcher should offer a sufficient compensation package to get enough volunteers after explaining the risks. They should get independent medical advice too.

    They can still randomize within the volunteers with treatment / placebo, and maybe use quotas, but they’d just have to extend their trial period until they’d achieved a measurably representative treatment and control group and enough volunteers to test the hypothesis to the required level.

    This type of non-random sampling may very well have to be done anyway, for example if they needed the power to test efficacy and safety in all the potential dug interactions or co-morbidity scenarios. Not to mention any diagnosis requirement will also screen the sample which could be influenced by health care system resources and policies, not necessarily pure morbidity. So I think they can deal with non-random sampling in med research perfectly well.

    I don’t know much about nazis but I thought an important part of their rhetoric was to draw distinctions between types of human.

    So they’d not see “10bn humans”, they’d see maybe 100m aryan and 9.9bn “untermensch”; the latter being equivalent to rats available to be experimented on.

    I just find rats to be much more preferable, pleasant and considerate creatures than humans. I see humans as a single tier of unterratten; totally different hierarchcy.






  • I think that really depends on the individual, some rats are skittish and don’t like being handled at all. The best way to handle them is to leave them alone.

    Humans should test their shit on themselves or on some other human that they can explain the risks to and agree compensation.


  • A poor craftsman . . . God is obviously shite at tool use. Probably needed a few more years as an apprentice before he started fucking around with firmaments and stuff. I mean hacking together a whole human out of cutoffs? Just pony up and order more stock, cheapskate.
