I support a fasttracked process for drugs for terminal diseases, as long as the patients are well informed that the drug is more experimental than one that went through the full process. It's a tough call; on one hand you're allowing companies to exploit desperate people for drug tests, but on the other hand you're allowing desperate people to have the choice of trying something experimental.

On the third hand, a drug with a 1.4% fatality rate does not seem to be a good candidate for the fasttrack process.
