I think it was a good point that a patient with schizophrenia might make the decision for the wrong reasons. When you take a neuroleptic, you are taking a health risk. So you are paying someobdy to accept health risks. The asessment of what is safe and not safe, should not be based in any way on money.

Just like it was mentioned, selling blood, or selling organs. Money should not be a factor in a person accepting health risks. If a person gets TD, theres no amount of money they may have been recieved that make that deal fair.

It is clear that neuroleptics may help patients in the short term, but I don't know if the evidence exists that schizophrenic patients do any better long term on neuroleptics. Isn't the outcome for schizophrenia better in some countires without neuroleptic medications?
