>What right does anyone have to manipulate desperate dying people out of vast amounts of money on unregulated, useless, gambling?

This already happens. I don't really see how allowing dying people to access experimental procedures is any worse than allowing dying people to pay for crystals, and "charged" water.

crystals and charged water don't tend to cost the same as a house.

I think I've changed my mind slightly. So long as people are properly informed - with very easy to understand information - I guess I'd let them access random experimental meds. I'd prefer that to be part of a rigorous study.
