We need enough or else we wouldn't have random things to laugh at. /leans back too far in chair/
Also what if the drug makes stupid people much much smarter... or even more interesting, very smart and homicidal?

And back to the original point of this thread: if I'm dying and there's even a slight chance that a new drug will help me, I'd bettter have the right to fork over my own money to experiment. I mean, what are they going to do - give me the chair? It's my business, my life and my money covering the cost.

Again the only thing I see the problem with is that we are using the desperate to further research. They can tell you whatever you want to hear, while they are testing whatever they need to test. I imagine someday there will be a difference between those two ideas.
For the record, I would probably take anything that claimed to cure what fatally ailed me.
@ basmoq:
Then why not restrict this as one way: the medical company looks for patients instead of doctors contacting the drug companies. More work I'd think. Or the companies send out a list of requirements for those near death to become one of the subjects.
