Yes, they would. These news stories are about trials for rare diseases. A mother appearing in them does not mean the drug works. It means the participant has a mother.

Be wary of confirmation bias.

In other words, the mother has no idea if any improvements she notices are from the drug or if she is only perceiving benefits because she wants desperately for something to work. That’s the purpose of a placebo controlled trial. Hopefully A2-73 works.
