So you think it's better to wait until people are harmed than for companies to go through the proper approval process for these drugs?

Yes. Drugs are too damn expensive and innovation is too damn slow. Better to allow higher risk options. And if you don't like it, you are always free not to use them.

    "If you don't like it don't take it" ignores all of human history. A huge majority of substances can be fatal if ingested. Are you sure you want to live in a world where Elon can speed run figuring out what won't kill "most" people?

      I'm on death row. So are you. The only thing that has a chance of giving me a stay of execution is rapid technological advancement so I'm willing to accept a lot of risk here. It's a matter of self preservation.
