Despite the cheerful attitudes of patients who want experimental treatments, and the inflammatory rhetoric about orphans, neither group has a legitimate claim to the label human guinea pig. This is not just a matter of language, but a matter of real concern among those who were once used as human guinea pigs and resent the casual use of the phrase. Now 63, Boyce has metastatic colon cancer, which his doctor has said will kill him. You might expect him to blame the doses of radiation his colon received years ago. But Boyce refuses to speculate.
