That is disgusting. Nice way to say "fuck off and die" to those unfortunate enough to get the placebo.
Am I right in assuming that it'd be less likely that such research would be more likely to be carried out in poorer populations, who are less likely to sue (and who are desperate enough to participate in "free/cheap" experimental treatment)? So much for learning the lessons of Tuskegee (and others).
