Do you have any idea how many individuals you would require with x characteristics for each clinical trial?

That supply would be exhausted quickly, but of course we could just start sentencing petty thieves to life sentences in order to keep the stocks of test subjects up. If you have any form of intelligence you can see the potential consequences that could subsequently ensue.

EDIT: I think using the word "trial" is inaccurate. I'm no biologist or chemist, but that's just the final stage correct? Presumably this human only testing would require a whole lot more subjects than a trial stage as it would be taking place right from the early development of the drug.
