I don't get a sense of whether these people are helping thing develop because they have good intent or whether they are just doing whatever they want because they can...
I don't suppose it matters, overly much. I mean, it does matter. But it's not something I can assess.
I saw something about blood product research. That's right... We have a single donor system for blood and blood products that people volunteer because they are led to believe that their donation will go to people who are injured or needing it for a medical procedure. They believe that if they become injured or needing it for a medical procedure that blood or blood products will likely be available to them... There is a opting in of a public health system that the donors believe in...
And if some or part of that is being diverted to people who are paying to have injections of young people's blood...
There's something awfully wrong about that.
I wonder how much it cost for that to happen, in New Zealand.
The sum would be a national disgrace, I'm sure.
And that... Is why we can't / won't train anybody to do much in the way of anything.
For the good of us all.
I mean... You inject someone with a substance that diluted their blood and you find that there is less of whatever it was that was in their blood before. That's supposed to be a marker of improved health.
It would be like if you added half a glass of water to your whiskey shot and you discovered the alcohol content of the resultant liquid was reduced!
Or you give someone a hand transplant from a person 1/2 their age and then take cells from the hand and declare there is evidence you have rolled back the clock on the person aging!
I mean...
I'm missing something -- right?
That isn't the gist of the research -- is it?
Shakes her head slowly and feels *embarrassed* for (supposedly) medical research.
