There are positives and negatives about clinical trials, but I think that clinical research is important and needed in medicine and treatments. The biggest negative on clinical trials is the possibility that something goes wrong and one of the subjects experience serious adverse effects. There have been cases were people have been greatly injured and there is a risk when it comes to participating in a clinical trial. The likelihood of something going very wrong isn’t very high, but improvements could always be possible. With clinical trials there is strong regulation and getting approval to conduct them is in place to make sure that a product or treatment is tested for safety as much as possible before testing on human subjects. The positive side of clinical trials is that they offer a hope for a future treatment possibilities that don’t yet exist.
