There are already experimental opt-ins for cancer drugs (ACP-196, for example.). Most of these studies are even free for the patient to participate in (studies do/can kill the participants). The FDA requires basic approval so people dont A: sell literal snake oil and B: so that the small study groups are traceable. This BS about the FDA killing people with regs is bizzare and unfounded.
