This is an important issue to consumers because every drug that is created and approved by the FDA has to go through experimental drug testing. The integrity of the drug testing directly effects the public. This is an important issue to health care providers because it is important to know the data behind the drugs we administer and their possible side effects.
Experimental drug therapies can provide some hope to some who are ill with terminal illnesses, but it faces many problems:
1. Many may try to exploit the ill, who are already vulnerable, with "promises" of a cure.
2. Some may try and "buy" their spot in clinical trials.
3. Safety/efficacy may not be well known.
