      It’s definitely the best. Human testing will always be the best method.

      But, it’s typically extremely unethical.

        Definitely not the safest but the method that works.
        I would not volunteer no matter how much I got paid though.
        It is concerning the circumstances people had that made this seem like an option though.

      I’d volunteer to breathe diesel exhaust. But I suspect I’ve been dropped on the head one too many times when I was a baby.
