Title: I wasn't expecting ancient history.
Product review: The more modern essays in this book are wonderful. Theresa Dulce's "Spanish Fly Guinea Pig" contains just the sort of detail that I wanted to read about the life of a human drug tester.However, I would have happily paid less and done without pages 64 to 145. Essays about The bombing of Guernica in 1937, studies of hepatitis in 1945, and Japanese bacteriological experiments in 1938-45 just plain didn't interest me. I suppose everyone interested in medical research should be familiar with the Nuremberg Code of Medical Ethics (1948); sorry, I wasn't. Jesse Gelsinger's tragic story was told in full on the web site where I found out about this book: why would I want to pay to read it again?Save your money. Don't buy the book. The website has enough interesting stuff to read for free, and the extra essays that you pay for in the bound book aren't worth it.http://www.guineapigzero.com/
