The same science that said thalidomide was totally safe?

No drug is totally safe, Thalidomide was as you say a disaster, but how do you test on pregnant women? No Pharma in the UK would put a pregnant woman through clinical trials, however it does have redeeming qualities in other areas, which is what Pharma does... drug fails in a specific area they either redevelop it or rebrand it for other areas it can be effective. Of the Millions that goes into researching a whole branch of drugs, a very low percentage make it through trials to production.. that's why treatments cost so much until they go 'generic'.

I recall reading an article a while ago about a guy who found a gun while digging for something in his backyard. He brought it to the police station and got arrested. Dunno if he was charged or did any time as I can't find that article right now, but talking to a lawyer before the cops is definitely the prudent approach.
