Maybe we could tie this drug testing in with the welfare thread above.....
Just think of the possibilities!
But seriously folks I keed...
While I think it makes sense for if you ARE going to die then you should be allowed to volunteer for whatever new or wacky treatment you like, there are still ethical considerations to make. Like what is exactly terminal, the medical world is full of people who have had 6 months to live for the last several years. Also do you have controls? Just think how great it would be to be dying and then given the control placebo.
Also there are waves of liability to be avoided in todays sue you society. "They told me John had 2 months to live, and he died right after taking the experimental drug, they stole my last two months with my husband". Yea its stupid but juries are stupid.
I know this IS done at times, but I'm not sure what the current requirements are.
