    Easy money...

    Unless I die. If somebody offered you $650 to take a series of shots for a Bird Flu vaccine would you do it? It's a vaccine that is in the test phase and they need volunteers. It's a guy I trust who works for a good medical research place here in town.

    My buddy signed up and I think he's nuts. Maybe I'm just scared of needles...but more importantly what it does to you 5 years down the road. $650 isn't really worth the risk to me. Would you do it?

    Hell no! I think the reasons are obvious, but hey, someone has to do it.

      I would consider it for $6,500,000 but not for $650.

            Wow I would probably jump all over that.

            Would probably call one my dad's friends that is a doctor and see what he said first, though. And then when they advise against it I'd probably still do it.

                There was an article about this dude in WIRED magazine who basically made a career of subjecting himself to all kinds of shots/test, etc.

                        Absolutely, but keep in mind I'm a constantly broke 17 year old without a job, so my opinion probably isn't the one you should value that much.

                            I'd consider it, I don't mind needles/shots at all. Depending on the health risks, I might do it.

                              I'd rather have that $650 in my pocket and live. That would be a come up for me...
