What is a temporary human lab rat?

Temporary human lab rats, also known as clinical trial participants or research subjects, are individuals who volunteer to take part in scientific studies that test new medical treatments, drugs, or procedures. These participants help researchers determine the safety and effectiveness of new interventions before they are approved for public use. The role is usually temporary, lasting only for the duration of the study, and often includes compensation for time and potential inconvenience. Participation is voluntary and closely monitored to ensure the health and safety of the individuals involved.
