I have to agree. I'll sign any waiver they give me. I've lived a long life and I don't want to live the rest of it in misery. I won't do anything to intentionally harm myself, but if some side effect occurs, so be it.

Today's society is soooooooo focused on protecting oneself against oneself. If that is so, then let's outlaw high sodium foods (high blood pressure); fast foods (saturated fat/obesity/heart disease); alcohol (alcoholism/liver disease); sugar (diabetes); etc, etc, ad nauseum.

My father, a pharmacist, used to say that if aspirin was developed today, it would have taken the FDA years to approve it because of known side effects, if it was approve at all.

Of course, they approved acetaminophen, when, if mixed with alcohol can cause liver failure.

Go figure.
