Would anyone ever do or go to a medical research company and do a trial to make a few extra quid?

Ive often thought of that. Jim has Athsma and I tell him all the time to go and sell a lung !
But at the crunch... Not so sure if itd like to be elephant man !0 -
I did look into this, but they're not keen to take women of "child-bearing" age.

Actually, look closer at some of them. Some of them ( plenty round london particularly for those who have used illegal drugs such as pot/ ecstacy or have experienced mental health probs or even depression) dont involve taking anything ( not even placebos) and involve doing tests similar to soduko (sp) and other mental arithmetic and reasoning tests.
They pay quite well too, but Ive always wondered about paying up for biotrax, so never have. biotrax seem to do most if not all of the "mental skills" ones Ive seen round here, may be different elsewhere
good luck:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
I dated a doctor for a few years who used to take time out from his hospital stuff to do research. Our dates would often consist of me going to the lab, donating body parts (bits of leg...ok, muscle) and then watch him fiddle with it all for hours. Not putting too fine a point on it, this wasn't the kind of fiddling with bits of my body I had in mind.
So, it's all kind of put me off really. They can have what's left of me when I am dead, that should give them hours of fun... hmm this is a liver 'I think'!!:A

I've just had a look at biotrax. Not to sure if i want to be pumped full of chemicals! I don't use illegal drugs either so i guess that rules me out then!

I did it about ten years ago when I was skint teenager. They advertised for women who could abstain from sex for a fortnight, and I could certainly do that! I was paid about £200 and I had to visit the clinic three times in total; the first to check I was "normal", the second mid test to check I wasnt reacting to anything, and the last at the end to make sure I was okay immediately afterwards. It was easy money...
I was testing a new spermicide :rotfl::A:A:A:A:A:A0 -
I was wondering what people thnk about biotrax...I can't help but feel there's something 'iffy' about it...0
