No fucking way is this the best and safest way to conductvthat trial o.O

It's definitely the best. Human testing will always be the best method.

But, it's typically extremely unethical.

Definitely not the safest but the method that works.
I would not volunteer no matter how much I got paid though.
It is concerning the circumstances people had that made this seem like an option though.
