Terminally ill patients do not have a constitutional right to experimental drugs not approved by regulators, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Tuesday. They won't approve drugs that could help terminally ill people because it MIGHT hurt them, but they also won't do anything about some substances (like cigarettes) that are KNOWN to be harmful.
The hypocrisy is staggering, but following the money trail explains it all.

That it is. If I were terminally ill, I would like it to be *my* choice to try the experimental drug. If it did not help me, it might help someone else.
