You've actually made an argument for the FDA, not against it. Otherwise patients with cancer would have to decide between thousands of chemical concoctions which will either kill them, let them live, or do nothing, in which case they will still only live or die. Why would there only be one experimental drug on the market if any one is allowed to market to patients independent of efficacy or risk?
