Comments: How You'd do Trials without Placebo
Why should the AIDS victim be given more humane treatment than the schizophrenic?
Why should the AIDS victim have special pretty little ribbons whereas the schizophrenic gets locked up in a seclusion room?
Why should the AIDS victim have all these happy little marathons whereas the schizophrenic recieves forced injections of Geodone?
Why should the AIDS victim get balloons and chocolate from her friends, whereas the schizoprhenic never has anyone come to visit her on the psych unit?
Why should the AIDS victim have nurses and doctors at her beck and call whereas the schizophrenic has to be restrained on a gurney for hours on end?
Hell, why am I using the term 'AIDS victim' and 'schizophrenic' whearas I could be using the terms 'AIDSic' and 'schizoprhenia victim'?
Hell, why is there a hell at all in treatment for people with schizoprhenia, whereas for people with AIDS, only the creme de la creme will suffice?
WHY???
