Experimental Medicines

Cross-posted from the Force Academy.

While watching an episode of Boston Legal, I was reminded of a question I once asked myself: If I had a terminal illness, incurable condition, or was missing a body part, would I put myself up for experimental procedures?

My answer to myself is "most likely, depending on the risks" I've never been in that situation, or anything like it, so I wouldn't know what I would really do; mostly, it's conjecture right now. But I love reading the news articles, especially about prosthetics. That artificial heart turbine the University of Texas came up with last year? Fantastic. The prosthetic hand with 30% feeling in it? Brilliant.

So, given that sort of situation, would you put yourself up for test-phase treatment?

Given that the severity of my illness is incurable or terminal and detrimental to my livelihood, or even a dismemberment. Most definitely. I would sign myself up in less then a heartbeat unless there is over half a chance that the procedure or implant would make my condition worse of course. I may be out-going but I'm not stupid. lol

I think I would

It sounds like this is trying to talk about alternative medicine. Alternative and experimental are different things

Not sure if that's what you were talking about
