Guinea Pig Zero Book
by Robert Helms Author
A collection from the zine of the same name. provides an informative and fascinating exposure of an aspect of human research that has rarely been looked into: the experiences, goals, and motives of the people who serve as human guinea pigs for the human research establishment. The narrative offers brief glimpses into the world, including some illuminating historical vignettes. Helms is clearly among the more experienced and vocal of thos who voluntarily submit themselves to the kind of research protocols which mark the biomedical enterprise. Great guide for anyone considering dedicating themself as a research subject to "science".

Comments & Reviews
Helms is so appealing in his ability to find the history between the lines, to represent the subjects of experiments as protagonists of their own stories.
These are strange and frightening stories that may make our trust in the medical establishment seem naive.
For Bob Helms, a day at work can literally be a draining experience.
