i feel you are confused. internal review boards, of which there are many, regularly allow human trials. they are necessary for the fda's approval as well. there are tons of ways for patients to access ethically reviewed experimental treatments, but terminal patients are extremely likely to. you are correct that experimenting on onesself is often far less troubling though

a majority of voters, but it still only ends up being about 33% of the country in literal terms.

that's not how that works, we cant regrow (most) vital organs (liver says hi) because of "engineering problems" not because evolution is random. we personify adaptations to understand them, it can lead to issues but yours is a massive overcorrection.

there is not a single thing that could wipe out a deep sea habitat that wouldnt also wipe any space colonies. but i dont see anybody arguing for that, despite being far more achievable and practical. also, there is no feasible way for space colonies to be self sufficient anywhere in the near future, so wiping out earth also wipes out space colonies relying on it for supplies. this argument aboOt survivability is absurd.

the us largely does not charge for bags directly, they are a consumable that is part of the store's customer overhead. At cost each bag is around 3 cents, and probably holds 15 to 50 dollars of merchandise that is being sold at around 2% net profit generally.

people often keep the bags and use them for other stuff, like trash bags or plastic linings or makeshift gloves. not everyone does. it's wasteful, yes, though on net carbon impact it's probably lower than plastic reusable bags and many plant fabric ones given a plastic industry exists anyway.

they are wire guided and far more stable than the similarly wire guided rockets.
