Oh sick, so every time my company faces an economic downturn, I can shift huge amounts of workers to a program designed to sell unfinished drugs at cost! Like, it doesn’t even have to be viable, just start selling saline with coloring or something.
Unless it does have to be somewhat viable, which is… regulation.
I'm not against regulation in principle. In this case, full disclosure of exactly what's in the drug should definitely be required. People's doctors can make informed decisions after that.
Restricting this to patients who are otherwise out of options is probably also a good idea. Pancreatic cancer would certainly qualify.
