Columnist: Consent forms filled out by subjects prior to their participation in tests of experimental medicines designed to treat the diseases from which they are suffering show that almost all subjects accept the risk of receiving ineffective substances.
Conclusion
This casts doubt on the claim that many test subjects resent being given placebos or resent being given medicines that turn out to be ineffective.
rephrase: there aren't lots of people who participate in clinical trials of new meds and resent it when they are given a placebo or when the experimental med turns out to be a dud.
Evidence
Consent forms that medical test subjects fill out before medical tests show that almost all of these subjects accept the risk of receiving ineffective substances.
Evaluate
If we accept that subjects of clinical trials sign a consent form accepting the risks of a clinical trial (i.e. You might be given an inert placebo / The drug we're testing might not actually work), can we still argue that people resent getting the placebo or getting an ineffective drug?
Sure! It's very possible that the test subjects could accept the risk of receiving ineffective substances and then still feel resentment later on. So, the forms that they complete before the tests do not cast doubt on a claim about them feeling resentment at a later time.
Suppose that every time you went to see a movie, you had to first sign a consent form acknowledging the risk that you'd be exposed to a lot of pre-film commercials and that you might not like the film.
We'd all sign that, because we understand that we are risking those things when we go see a movie. But that doesn't stop us from resenting how many commercials there are prior to the film or from resenting how much the film sucked (if it was bad).
Goal
Look for an answer saying you can consent to something and still resent when it happens.
