1 man brain dead, 5 others hospitalized in French drug trial
PARIS (AP) — One man was brain dead and three others faced possible permanent brain damage after volunteering to take part in a drug trial for a painkiller based on a natural brain compound similar to the active ingredient in marijuana, French authorities said Friday.

The Paris prosecutor's office opened an investigation into what French Health Minister Marisol Touraine called "an accident of exceptional gravity" at a clinical trial lab in the western French city of Rennes.

The trial involved 90 healthy volunteers who were given the experimental drug in varying doses at different times, she told reporters at a news conference in Rennes.

Six male volunteers between 28 and 49 years old have since been hospitalized, including one man now classified as brain dead, Touraine said, adding that the other 83 volunteers were being contacted.

Calling the case "unprecedented," Touraine said she was "deeply moved" by the suffering of the victims, who she met with earlier Friday, along with their families. "We'll do everything to understand what happened," she said. "I don't know of any other event like this."

It's a trial to see the effects of a new drug on humans. Shit happens. Why people accept such low money for potential death is beyond me.
