That's the greatest part about the tragedy in this episode. There's no clear villains, it's just a chain of mistakes and conflicting ideals. You can't hate on anyone, but instead lament at what could've been.

I doubt Shirley knows what that drug actually do, she probably think it's something that will be beneficial to the human body, an elixir. Though just like any other medicine if you don't get the dose and component correct you can still kill yourself with anything, let along something that haven't even been animal tested. As smart as she is, I doubt she understood the complications.
