How Fair Is This ?

Cardiff University in Wales, UK has developed an new diabetes pill so insulin dependant diabetics no longer need to inject themselves (up to 4 times daily) The pill is being tested on diabetics in America first and will only be available there for goodness knows how long. How fair is this? Bigtoe, I'd willingly lay myself up for the tests
