Aman Dhawan, 16, is one of many youngsters from Indore who took part in the trial without being aware they had been signed up to test Merckís new Gardasil 9 drug, aimed at preventing cervical cancer

Sana Ansari, 19, her brother Mazhar and sister Asiya were all enrolled in the trial of Gardasil 9 drug - but she and her family say she had no idea she was testing the drug

Aman Dhawan, 16, from Indore, lost weight and strength after being enrolled in the trial, which he didn't know he had signed up for either

The doctors and more importantly pharmaceutical companies behind this need to be heavily punished for such a serious crime

Why didn't the families complain when it first happened?

i don't understand why males were chosen to test this drug.

and this company, merck, could have tested this drug on some foolish western females who wanted to loose weight... some idiot like victoria beckham.

Could it not just be the families looking for money? Why didn't they complain when it first happened?

yes, the family system in india is the main reason for most of india's ills, but why don't such trials happen in britain or usa among the middle classes there??

That's pathetic,

Family system? Are you retarded, suddenly families are against your pretentious socialist agenda? Would you rather that every one lives separately from each other so we can remove the scourge of families from our society? Get real you pretentious pseudo-intelectuall.

okay, we will pretend that "honor killings", dowry murders, family-enforced suicides etc are part of a western evil agenda to destroy the oh-so-great "indian way of life"...

from ( Parents held for 'honour’ killing of 21-year-old Delhi University girl - The Times of India )...

The victim, Bhavna, was allegedly strangled by her parents and uncle at their southwest Delhi home after which her body was taken to her hometown, Alwar, and quietly cremated

from ( India is Suicide Capital: World Health Organisation (WHO) )...

The report released today says that an Indian commits suicide every two minutes. In 2012, WHO believes that 2.5 lakh people killed themselves in India. The government's estimates are significantly lower.

the above two link are a deep western conspiracy...
