Hello Pascale and thank-you for the article. It is so sad and truly underscores the desperation for those of us that have this disease.

I did find this part of the article sad too;
"One key concern is whether people whose conditions aren’t life-threatening – such as those with rheumatoid arthritis..."
Rheumatoid arthritis IS a condition that can be life-threatening... it can attack the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys... well, just anything in the entire body!

Anyway, thanks so much for the article.
Yeah, I didn't like that part either.

Mostly I was deeply disturbed by all the conflicts of interest and non-disclosure.

And why somebody who wasn't at the end of their options would consider being a human guinea pig.
