I'm well aware that I will be judged according to the measure I use. However, my reaction was a knee jerk one to what it a travesty. Do i wish anyone goes to hell? No, but all of us also make choices that will ultimately save or condemn us. Me included.
Regarding two sides to the story, both sides are presented. Mr Moch states that it may have a negative effect to the drugs marketability. What this means is that it is as yet unproven, but shows hope as a possible treatment. Josh's family are aware of this and are willing to take the chance. As mentioned in the article, there are protocols in place that allow the merciful use of untested /as yet unapproved pharmaceutical products. the company is showing no mercy, instead they are more concerned with future income.
It gets down to the mighty dollar. The company's fear is that if Josh has no improvement or worse, a reaction to the drug speeding his death, they won't be able to get approval, market it and make millions of dollars.
End of story.
Just so you know, I am involved in sports supplement research and reviewing which sees similar controls to pharmaceuticals, being controlled by the AMA, FDA and various sporting bodies (to control the use of banned substances) so I am very aware of both sides of the story.
Blessings
