Comments for FDA General
Questions
1. General Comments Obviously, the gov. understands the controversy in regards to testing any drug, let alone a drug know to not only cause death but many known and unknown neurologic side effects on children or you wouldn't be asking for the public's opinion. The risks do not out weigh the benefits. Giving a healthy child a dose of a drug that we know is very dangerous is crazy. If the researchers think it's so safe, let them use their own children. Not really, I wouldn't wont one child to receive neurologic damage or death just in the name of science. Thank You.
