Seventeen people are voluntarily hosting parasitic worms in their bodies

At the moment the study is still running so making conclusions about the side-effects cannot be made. As far as I know, so far there were only a few rashes and slight fever experienced.

And I do not know anything about the ethical opinion, but I'd assume as it got going it probably had to go through some ethical judgment.

I see. I mean the complication of that parasite infestation could be fatal. I wonder if 1200 USD is an insufficient amount compare to the risk imposed.

I understand your point.

But I'm not here to make such a judgment (and even if I did, it would be worth nothing as I am not a medical ethician). I just report on these things because I find them interesting.

I understand that.

Professionally maybe, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion/judgement. You can make all judgement that you want. That's how you learn.
