As you wish. But isn't it possible to have this discussion without really having to mention the FDA at all? Saying that science uses humans as guinea pigs doesn't just cover what goes on at the FDA. It covers cosmology, evolutionary biology, Newtonian Physics, astronomy--all of which are lumped in with whatever it is about the FDA that upsets you as 'science'. It's just an idea.
So, if you don't mind my asking. Should your statement that science uses humans as guinea pigs be understood to really be an attack on the FDA and not on, say, physics?
Cheers

The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
