> Sorry, but you appear to have gotten Religion in your science.

I'm not drawing parallels between the two as I'm personally not Religious and despise the affects dogmatic faith has had on Science (think stem cell research ban in the US), but in Truth the two were once seen as the same; Newtonian physics and mechanics was after all based and conjured from his fervent belief in Christianity and its application on understanding the Natural World.

> Paranoid and racist self-serving bollocks. There’s science and scientists, and then there’s fantasy-prone punks with delusions of grandeur. Try killing a patient, then get back to us.

I'm a Westerner born of Western parents and raised and lived my entire life in the Western World, in the US and Europe respectively. I'm not sure what racism has to do with the corrupt profit models of Bayer/Novartis/Dupont et al, who quite honestly are just doing the same evil stuff they did during WWII in their pursuit of profit at all costs--when I was in my WESTERN University studying Biology I saw how Eli Lilly kicked off a Cardiologist off the FDA panel because he refused to acquiesce that their product didn't prove it wasn't harmful:

Years later this happened with the same corp who pulled their FDA APPROVED drug for not meeting its targets:

I can go on, but I actually studied this and unlike many of you I had undergo a lot financial hardships to work in this Industry, only to see this level of corruption as the norm, not the exception; so I enough to know that the FDA system is broken: its interest are not aligned with the welfare of the General Public and it never was meant to. Its their to prevent others from taking Market Share from the established Industry players who lobby the government to enact legislation and dismiss their cases when they don't comply by their own imposed Laws and get a bunch of people sick, poisoned or killed.

At least if what this article is alluding to is happening in China, specifically with these terminal cancer patients, they are given the choice and opportunity to explore all options they see fit; which cam include experimental drugs so we can in turn garner more insight and learn from these processes if its documented and published in medical/health journals.

Death is a certain variable in the Health Sciences, that's why its so important, and you needed to understand that in your Freshman year of undergrad (or sooner) to get why any of this matters.

Have you ever been in an ER or Cancer-ward? People die everyday in Hospitals because they are denied access to research level treatment(s) as an option due to legal matters, not scientific ones, this isn't the 'punk' view, this the root for why its broken: let people decide what they should do with their bodies, retaining some level of agency into death is least we can do for those hapless souls. Many would forfeit doing so anyway, I should know: my mother is an example of just that, luckily she is healthy now, but radiation and chemotherapy is a barbaric relic akin to that of leeches when things like CAR-T have been a norm before I was even born.

The only delusions here are your misplaced faith on the aforementioned system despite all the evidence to why you should question its validity.
