Yeah, I agree with this. Ultimately the danger is that right to try essentially leads patients to deny proven methods of treatment due to coercion or being misled. If a patient refuses the usual cancer treatment and demands instead a regime of herbs and folk medicine, how do you handle that? Especially when the family then turns around and blames you.
In this scenario where you have an expert in their field knowing that the outcome for the experimental treatment could make things far worse but is willing to contribute the data to further the field anyways I think the answer is far easier to parse.
