- No, because I wouldn't like the fact that I'm swallowing someones poop! A patient even said "It lasted for two years. It was horrible. I thought I was dying. I couldn't eat. Every time I ate anything or drank water I was into the bathroom," she said. "I never went anywhere, I stayed home all the time." think that's absolutely disgusting, I would understand the fact that it can help cure infections. Some people would probably just take it to help themselves stay a live. If it was my last resort and I had a few days to live of course.. I'd do it! Not just to be taking it just for the heck of it. No, no, no sorry but it will not be I. I feel as if you take the pill you minus well actually eat your own stool.
2) How have researchers created the pill described in the article? Why might people prefer it to fecal transplants?
- They created the pill by having a relative of the patient donate their stool. They cleaned the stool of all food and bacteria. They also put the stool in an triple-coat gel capsules so that the pill will not burst in your mouth!
3) Why was the pill designed so it doesn't dissolve until it reaches the intestines?
- It was designed like that so that no one would taste the unappetizing taste! I'm certainly correct when I say that no doctor would want to taste any ones stool.. So, why would a patient?
4) What are some possible future advances for this pill, according to the article? Remember to find an interesting quote and discuss it, as well.
- I really don't think that their is any good outcome for this pill.. Patients said that it was disgusting!!
