NASA is going to research the relation between our body and gravity. For the study, NASA is paying volunteers a huge sum of money in exchange for lying in bed. Throughout the study, the participants will also undergo several tests to check their brain, heart, muscles as well as balance.
Viewpoint Discussion
- Would you be willing to volunteer in the AGBRESA study in exchange for money? Why or why not?
If I can read books during this study, I want to volunteer. But if not, it is too dull for me, so I don't want to do so.
- Other than money, what other benefits do you think participants can get from the study? Discuss.
Free time, and an opportunity to communicate with other people.
- What safety precautions should a person take note of before volunteering in this kind of study? Explain.
To think about how to spend this long period. Because if they didn't think that, they may feel too boring immediately.
- Aside from a bed rest study, what other studies do you find interesting (e.g. sleep study)? Discuss.
I think a study of muscles is interesting. There are some activity patterns and foods, and researching what will affect our muscles more.
