ReviewsGPZ is not only a self-help guide for people considering work as a volunteer subject in medical research, but also a serious history of medical test with sobering case studies., Spirited writing and quite interesting subject matter distinguish this book that can't help but broaden the scope of just aboutany collection., These are strange and frightening stories that may make our trust in the medical establishment seem naive., From first person accounts of pharmaceutical studies gone bad to intricate medical histories, Guinea Pig Zero provides afascinating look at t he people who sell their bodies to science. While the book provides advice to present-day research subjects (by rating research clinics), the book also provides context by investigating the history and ethics behind this important, but little-known medical industry., GPZ makes clear that a good zine can get you heard. And in an age of spin, that counts for an awful lot.
