i hope i understood what you are saying, which is basically what they are proposing right? public goods for all so let's do our public duty and all reap the benefits. but i don't see - oh you referred to them with the words fruits of the participation?
i do have to wonder with you whether more clinical trial participation would have us farther along. I don't know the answer, but know that a lot goes on overseas.
so i' m back to communicate with us first.........so we can develop trust.

Universal, duitiful participation is only half of the equation.
You do have to wonder if there was more participation in clinical trials, would we be ahead of the game in disease cure and treatment right now?
We can't be required (not simply asked) to sacrifice our health for the greater good unless there is some benefit. I would argue the benefit would be access to the best health care without fear of bankruptcy or even lesser financial hardship.
