The New York Times published an article today that sheds insight into the complexities of medical research, desperate patients and investigational drugs. One mother fought hard to raise money and awareness for her son's disorder, thinking it would help get her son new treatments. But clinical research follows a set of strict protocols for who they enroll in trials with unproven medications. Those guidelines are both patient/research subject safety. But things get complicated when not everyone understands how and why medical research proceeds in certain ways.
It's compelling reading. You can find the article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/17/business/17dystrophy.html?ex=1373947200&en=9e58936b75dd9b17&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink.
