I don't think anyone objects to drug companies continuing to research and develop drugs that can improve our quality of life or even extend our lives. However, no one wants to pay more than they have to for their prescription medications.

Due to recent concerns over drug safety - for example the Northwick Park experience with TGN1412 causing serious adverse reactions in healthy volunteers - and with the advance of medical science leading to the development of treatments with greater specificity. Phase 1 research now increasingly considers patients. The involvement of patients brings a new dimension to research; patients can conceivability benefit from clinical trials and in considering entering a clinical trial both the patients and the attending doctor must consider the alternatives of treatment.
