Parents of children with rare or fatal illnesses may be offered opportunities to sign them up for clinical trials at times. These treatments/medications are usually tested on laboratory animals before moving to human trials.
This is NOT the same as "experimenting on children," which makes them sound involuntary. All clinical trials are strictly voluntary and all participants are told of all possible issues before granting permission to be included.
