Holy shit /fit/, something just happened today that I cannot even begin to explain. I was just offered $27,000 to get AIDS.

A little back story, Thursday they had a 'conservation rally' at my college (basically PETA and that shit, but tons of women) and among one of the topics was testing drugs on animals. There was a mention of new tests being done and using college students as lab rats. I found a flyer at one of the booths, and me being a poor bastard made an appointment to see what it was about (yes, for some reason my mind hoped it was some marijuana test of some sort)

Ok, so today I had the appointment at this small office with a doctor and a very very hot girl who was an assistant or something. I sat down and he started laying on the whole speech about how they are glad that college students are so supportive of advancing medicine and some shit befor he finally told me what was going on. Basically he said they were testing a new immunization type drug for stopping HIV from become full blown AIDS. They inject you with the drug and then they inject you with HIV positive blood (he said it could take 3-4 visits befor it takes sometimes because they use a real low ammount or something?).

I was absolutely shocked and really really thought it was some joke, but this guy was dead serious and even said they already found 7 students who have signed up. He aslo told me that for participating they would pay me $27,000 ($2000 up front and the rest over the testing peroid) as well full medical coverage for the next 5 years, and additional coverage afterwards if the drug did not take. Being the rational person I am I declined and got the hell out of there. But I might tell some of my friends to go for the lulz, they don't fucking beleive me.

Thats it, I just got home about 20 minutes ago and still am confused about this whole thing. Would any of you get AIDS if they paid you 27 grand??

You're asking the wrong forum... go to /ck/, and forget the 27 grand, just put the AIDS on a free cheeseburger or bottle of Coke, and there'll be a riot of people wanting it

Motherfucking Hippocratic Oath, doctors could not even do that if they wanted to.

You seriously think that there aren't any doctors who would ignore that? Also, what about doctors who rationalize what they're doing as necessary for a greater good? That would enable them to adhere to their "morals" while still doing dodgy things.

The point Im trying to make is that, while being against all ethics. Beyond that Im sure that this would be ILLEGAL. There would be know way to run an experiment where you were knowingly give someone a fatal disease.

That's either incorrect or just stupid. If the person being given the disease AGREES to it and is suitably compensated for his participation, what right does the law have to prevent that?

Im not saying its right or wrong, I am saying that it is illegal. Regardless of the person's consent, the experiment would be illegal. Its just like euthanasia, whether its good or bad is irrelavent, it is illegal. The same is said for this. Thats why a lot of research on many things is hard to carry out. A lot of a good medical and scientific information came from WWII when the Nazi's experimented on the Jews. Did they get good info? Yes. Was it legal? No.
tl;dr this kind of experiment is illegal.

ok listen up

you are at a college. college's have psychology departments. They pull shit like this to gauge people's reaction as part of the course or an experiment. No one in their goddamn right mind would get aids for what is roughly a year's salary at minimum wage.

LOL, $27k wouldn't even be enough for one month of anti-retrovirals (aids medicines).

Fuck. No.

Not for 27,000 not for 27 MILLION.

The difference is that you don't have to actually work for the money. Not many people would take a job that pays $27,000 a year, but getting that much cash for pretty much free is a totally different story.

They're already providing medicine for free, though.

Not saying I'd take the deal either, but this is pretty much free money that could be used for whatever.

this is exactly what they are testing for. How much you value your health over money or faith in medical technology or something similar.

GETTING AIDS FOR ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY IS FUCKING STUPID. ITS AIDS YOU DUMBFUCK. AIDS
