I would argue that in a lot of cases compassionate use policies are a good thing. I have a distant relative who was part of the study of the use of lung surfactant for premature infants. It was so effective that they cut the testing short to roll it out nation wide and has saved thousands and thousands of lives.
I’m not saying I trust pharmaceutical companies to not be bastards the vast majority of the time, but sometimes they do the right thing.

Only when the “right thing” and the “profitable thing” are the same.
