these articles are just highlighting the risks with rushing these 'solutions' in to the public arena without proper testing procedures. a study of 700 people is stupidly small and hardly a cause to start using it mainstream.

Depends on the circumstances, if these people were likely to have recovered and have now died then yes, absolutely, if these people were likely to die and had nothing to lose then no.
When my father died of cancer he elected to use experimental treatment as an opportunity to possibly extending his life, due to other complications it was unsuccessful and if framed in the wrong light could be easily argued it potentially ended his life, we supported and continue to support his decision in the circumstance.
