Has anyone heard of the technology that a brilliant lady has invented? Her name is Naomi Halas. I hope so much that it goes through all trials and becomes publicly available in the next 12-24 months. Do you think that's feasible? It could save so many lives if it happens quickly. I was also thinking that trial treatments should be available to everyone that desires to go though it. Do you think that is reasonable to ask? Of course patient assumes all risk and no one is liable for anything. Do you think this law can be changed? Thanks

It isn't a good idea to join an undocumented trial, announced as a success before it starts. Beware of suggestions that patients assume all risk and the experimenter isn't liable.

First, it takes everything a lot more than 1-2 years in trials to get out to the public. And No, the law should NOT be changed. The reason they dont allow patients into trials just because they want to be, even with the patient signing consent and releasing liability, is that if something goes wrong they will still sue, they will still seek damages. What if the treatment could do nothing for the person who wanted to sign up? What if the treatment can make some situations worse? Are you really telling me you wouldnt try to sue. The majority of people would, and thus the reason why we have such tight policies on trials.
