The very idea that we cannot obtain TRUE advertising about medical goods and services (where the truth is no defense! ...Throwing out the jury supremacy hard-won from over 300 years of jurisprudence and civil disobedience!) is antithetical to the social existence of anything other than slaves.

Mixing factual questions with what you want to be true is a bad idea. Whether or not getting rid of the FDA will result in no clinical trials is a factual question. On LW the common word to describe that kind of reasoning is 'mind-killed'.

How can a law that has no valid corpus delicti ("body of crime") be enforced in court, when the common law (which all precedent to this date states that the 6th Amendment is referring to, when it refers to "due process") demands that all criminal prosecutions contain a valid "corpus," and where the 4th amendment also maintains the same?

The common moral framework on LW is that people are utilitarians or consequentialists. Most of us don't believe in God given "natural law" but think that laws are entirely man-made. We can discuss which laws are good and which aren't, just because some Christians considered certain laws naturally produced by God doesn't imply that they are binding in the 21th century.

The thing is that I would like to eat more tuna. Mercury content in tuna is unfortunately high enough that the European food safety authority advises against daily tuna consumption. Under the Obama administration the EPA calculate the cost of the decreased IQ of children in the US and found that it's cost effective to put barriers on the ability of the free market to produce mercury emission. If you sit down and calculate childrens IQ is just worth more.

I like that the EPA stops the free market from producing mercury pollution. Fortunately some day on the future that means I can regularly eat tuna.

Yes, the reason drug companies run expensive trials is because they are coerced into doing so, and because they are complicit in the final result of anyone having not done so being banned from the marketplace by the realistic threat of violence

No, Big Pharma likes to have the standard at the level where they are. They don't always lobby for the standards for clinical trials to be less but sometimes even lobby against lowering of standards.

The basic idea of dealing with issues of the tragedy of the commons is to come to a common agreement and then enforce that agreement by punishing people who violate it.

Of course, I favor putting "medical freedom" I & R on the ballot,

Our present system is very much broken on the other hand evidence based medicine needs expensive trials. Currently the reason drug companies run expensive trials is because otherwise the FDA wouldn't approve their products.

and think that putting legalized "Transhumanism" on the ballot simply invites needless controversy.

What do you mean with legalized transhumanism? I don't remember anyone outlawing transhumanism.

I second this proposal. In the sites I've seen where it's implemented, I've found it extremely useful.
