I’m not sure about your specific proposal, but in general imagine there’s a lot of room to experiment on “paying people to be test subjects in interesting ways”. This can only go so far in the short term, but as technology improves it will probably get easier to manage.
I believe Vertias Genetics gives large discounts to people who are willing to give up their genetic data for scientific use, for instance.
Thanks for the thoughts here!
