Very sad recent situation in the UK where the testing of a drug will likely lead to early deaths for those involved.

Was this simply an honest mistake or is it possible that pressures to develop this drug caused those coordinating the study to go ahead without a complete screening to determine if some difference in Human physiology or DNA could cause such a reaction?
