It IS extraordinarily unlikely that a drug, tested in animals, will cause a worse result than one of the worst diseases we've ever seen. Concern about "false hope" is bizarre to me - it's not like this is a long-term disease like cancer, where false hope can damage a graceful death and grieving process. It's going to be over for these patients, usually brutally, in days.
