>A company making a blood substitue called "PolyHeme" some time ago received (quietly?) FDA approval to do TRIALS of the product on trauma victims. Such people are usually in no position to provide "informed consent".
Apparently, the FDA approved the TRIAL anyway on the basis that people not wishing to participate would be expected to be wearing a metal bracelet stating that they are not to have the substance administered. In other words, EVERYONE is "in" unless they specifically opt out!
You would trust judges to know the law more then you, but not the FDA, which probably has many MD and PHD types on their staff?
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.

No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
