Lilit / Armenia 
Would you volunteer for medical experiments?
Hello, my name is Lillit. I'm from Armenia. Today my question is, would you volunteer for medical experiments?
I think medical experiments are a great way of achieving something in medicine and a person who volunteers, so for medical experiments, can easily earn some money.
However, I would not like to volunteer in a medical experiment because I consider myself to be an unlucky person. And if there is even a 1% chance of something going wrong, then I think it will definitely happen to me. Other than that, I'm really afraid of hospitals. And every time I have to go in for a medical checkup or to give some blood tests, I really feel anxious. And I just don't like the environment of the hospitals. So I don't think there is a chance that I would actually volunteer for any medical experiments.
