Babies for drug test?

Recently I’ve read in google news that there are about 49 babies died in India in one of its top hospitals due to drug testing. It has been said that the country has been designated as the world’s number one destination for any clinical trials. Particularly at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences or AIIMS is the country’s known influential medical college and public hospital which is famous of its cheap and affordable services to the public especially to the poor people.

Rumors spread that most of the companies who drug tests babies which leads to death are companies from the Western countries. According to some, most of the babies are being used of developing new discovered drugs. Most of the babies on the other hand are seriously ill before they take imparting of the clinical trials. With the children being used in the clinical trials, 2, 728 babies were under a year old age. Due to this, fears in India increases especially to parents who have babies with them since they have sense that the reasons of all these incidents is because of the lacking of well-trained staff and due to lacking of medical ethics and practices.

Not only in India but all over the world, practices like this should be stop. We should have hand in hand helping each other to thwart medical practices without proper medical experiences and abilities. We should help one another not to spread these bad practices that we just have heard and read from the country of India.
