"all progress depends on the unreasonable man" I don't have any particular knowledge or opinion on this person's work, how liable it was to lead to breakthroughs and whether it could have been accomplished as quickly with less risk. But medical science has a long and, frankly, glorious history of self experimentation featuring both Nobel Prizes[1] and deaths[2]. I'm sure most of the people who do this are overconfident just based on the selection process but still medical science, and hence all of us, have benefited from their attempts and I'm not going to look down on someone who is willing to risk their own life in pursuing the frontiers of medicine, even if they might be after fame or notoriety.
