Right to Try

The Right to Try is legislation that allows terminally ill patients to seek experimental medicines that haven't yet received full approval from the FDA. It provides a legal pathway for patients to access potentially life-saving treatments directly from drug manufacturers, bypassing some regulatory hurdles. This law is intended to give seriously ill patients more options when no approved treatments are effective, emphasizing autonomy and hope. However, these experimental drugs may have unknown risks, and the law does not guarantee success or safety, making informed decision-making essential.
