The film we watched in class, "Cancer Warrior", is a research documentary about various types of cancer and the experimental cures and drugs that could prevent the growth of cancer and ensure the removal of cancer indeed. Consequently, I've realized the difference between the tested and not approved drugs. The tested ones showed positive results after researching and being tested on laboratory animals and people who suffered of cancer, and yet had hope in succeeding in this quest for the cure.
Putting aside the experimental cures, I think that the people who are being infected by serious and/or fatal diseases should be allowed to receive experimental treatments and therapies because it's usually a cocktail of drugs given which could or could not affect the patient's recovery. Taking a look on the bright side, releasing a drug before it has been tested throughly well enough, might result with recoveries due to the drugs used to mix that cocktail. Yet again, those are only the possible benefits, that cannot be assured in any way.
The risks patients expose themselves when receiving a treatment of a drug not fully tested can be fatal in many ways. The patient may/may not be allergic to the drug, their organs can fail if they've had some previous inner organ diseases, and similar.
