This ridiculous arrogance pisses me off so much. In the name of safety and proper procedure, with the argument that it could do someone harm, we just let people die. No, we’re not going to give you permission to try a new drug that could potentially cure you, or much more likely give researchers valuable data about the drug. No, this is against protocol. No, it’s against your own safety, so please be so kind as to fuck off and die.

That is basically what we are telling patients who would gladly reduce the suffering of themselves and others. Because someone claims it is an irresponsible hazard to other people’s health. That it is supposedly immoral.

In the name of correct procedure and bureaucracy, someone lets other people suffer. This is what really is bizarrely immoral.
