Every time I hear the word “skew,” when applied to demographics, a shudder goes through me.
Quoted in the Washington Post: That darn Holocaust!
“We could really speed up the whole process of drug improvement if we did not have all the rules on human experimentation. If companies were allowed to use clinical trials in Third World countries, paying a lot of poor people to take risks that you wouldn't take in a developed country, we could speed up technology quickly.
