"Are you grieving the
loss of someone dear?" the ad
catches my eye. Yes.
I am, but a clinical
trial sounds too much like whoring.
So this one is heavy, but getting compensation for the clinical trial of a new anti-depressant seems like a betrayal. It seems like selling my emotions or my memory of Brian, somehow. Even if taking part in a university-sponsored clinical study might help someone else down the road, I'd feel creepy about the whole thing. Or am I looking at this the wrong way? Opinions, my friends?
