What is a weekend human lab rat?

Weekend Human Lab Rats are individuals who participate in scientific or medical studies, typically conducted over weekends, to help researchers collect data about new treatments, medications, or medical devices. These participants often undergo supervised testing or observation in a controlled environment and may receive compensation for their time and contribution. The studies are designed to ensure participant safety and are usually overseen by ethical review boards. Participation is voluntary and often requires meeting specific health and eligibility criteria.
