I haven't read all the particulars on what type of authorized treatment can be given, but does an experiment have to used specifically for the patient's welfare? Can an experiment be used for general medical study?

Family to Dr: "Did you everything possible to save their life?

Dr's reply: "They were going to die anyway, so we implanted electrodes in his brain and upped the amps to abnormally high levels, unrelated to their condition, to test a product in trials."

Negative - per the protocols above, the experiment has to be used in an attempt to save the dying patient's life, and can only be used for that purpose. So, no, this scenario would not be "legal" under the codes listed above. Life-saving only, not general research.
