I get where you coming from, but I don't think it's like that. MC didn't inject the drug without patient permission, that's for one. But most importantly - the only reason why it was illegal was because pharmaceutical company refused to give the drug because of money. That was all. In other case the final decision would belong to the patient, who of course knows the risk, the odds. But here the patient wanted to give it a try, but couldn't because putting this medicine into circulation was unprofitable for a pharmaceutical company. And at the end of the book, dr. Harper told Declan that she expects his company to ensure that the medicine is approved now.
