MJ is considering using an experimental drug that his doctor has offered to treat colitis, but isn't sure who is responsible if anything goes wrong.
"After many unsuccessful treatments, it seems we are getting close to or have arrived at a last-resort stage. He has offered to put me on an experimental drug that works well on mice. I would be one of the guinea pigs for humans.
"I want to know who has the legal responsibility if anything goes wrong. If I used this drug and needed treatment to cure any damage from it, who would be responsible? Who would pay for treatment? Could I get compensation from the doctor or hospital?"
