> Even if you want the experimental treatment, you cannot get it. Killing someone in an attempt to help is deeply unethical, while merely letting them die is not your fault. This is sometimes also known as the Copenhagen interpretation of Ethics. Most people (myself included) would not agree to that. Experimental treatment should be made possible - at least if there have been promising results with previous studies (animals, small trials etc.). There must be a safeguard, however, to make it impossible to sell false hope to dying people - because they will pay for everything, even if it does more harm than good.
