I'm aware. I'm saying from the standpoint of medical science, that's the benchmark being used.
Organism 1 taking Med A causes health issues. Not taking Med A suffers no ill effects.
Organism 2 taking Med B causes health issues. Not taking Med B could suffer worse I'll effects.
Approving Med A to be taken by Organism 1 in order to prevent Organism 2 from suffering ill effects...is not how medication testing is done.
Yes, but if at some point the benchmark being used is obviously, undoubtedly flawed on a matter that can be solved, then it's time to ignore the benchmark.
The medical sector is always loooving to make exceptions and ignore rules, but when it comes to women's health suddenly the protocol is set in stone, that seems pretty convenient for a sector that is pretty well known to be extremely set in their sexist ways.
