Now to our signature segment. Tonight the growing movement to allow terminally ill patients the right to take drugs that have not been approved by the food and Drug Administration even if they are potentially dangerous. The idea is known as the right to try. The number of states have approved legislation approving the idea. Missouri is one of them. We traveled there recently to report the story. In early 2013, christina brogue an was pregnant with her fifth child. When she began experiencing excruciating pain. Her obstetrician didnt know why. I went to an appointment and he said you have to find out why she is so bad. They did a level two ultrasound the same week. What did they found . They found a tumor and found it had gone into my liver. Christina at the age of 39 was diagnosed with stage four colorectal cancer. What was that like . What went into your head . I cant say i have a normal thought in my head. I was just scared. There was my baby and my family. Her doctors needed to take aggressive measures to fight the disease and chose to perform a csection at 28 weeks into christinas pregnancy. Today her son, evan, is a happy nd healthy 1yearold. Christina, however is battling a disease even with regular chemotherapy treatment. What are did they tell you your future looked like . They didnt. I dont want them to. I will do what the doctors say and do my best to get better. While her four other boys and husband jeff live in gallatin, missouri, christina moved about 30 minutes away to the town of cameron where her mother, sister and stepfather can help care for her. Her stepfather is a practicing physician at the local hospital. I think as you age, you tend to recognize the sanctity of life. But you also through the process of living, you have been able to deal with a lot of heartache. In activities. She decided to make public this very private family matter. In addition being a doctor, he just finished his first term as a republican lawmaker in the Missouri House of representatives. Thank you, mr. Speaker. This year he introduced a bill to allow terminally ill people to take unapproved experimental medication outside of a Clinical Trial and without the federal governments go ahead. s called the right to try. Just try. Let a person be in challenger of their life. Im not saying this is the answer for everybody. But its an answer that if you can move forward and gain access to care. We want this. Patients and their doctors can already petition a drug company to try an investigational medicine even outside a trial. They need approval from the federal food and Drug Administration. Right to try bills are state laws that would bypass that federal approval step and similar measures are gaining ground nationwide. Here in missouri, the right to try law passed with unanimous support in the state legislate as it did in colorado and louisiana. This fall, arizona voters will have their own version of right to try on the ballot. This made colorados democratic governor sign the first right to try bill. Like missouri, it cuts the feds out of the picture. Patients should be able to try it eve though it hasnt been approved. Its an attempt to save their life. Lawmakers began calling it the bill after the 2013 oscar winning film about aids patients seeking unapproved medication and one mans efforts to side step federal rules. Adding to the colorado bills momentum, the story of 41yearold denver dad who would later is you to stage four melanoma. They made an emotional appeal for an experimental drug. He was on a trial, but disqualified after a complication. There is a chance, we are taking it. If there is a possibility, we are going to be part of that possibility. Whats more, a conservative think tank in arizona. The gold Water Institute lent support to the right to try movement. He was helping lawmakers like this draft legislation. New medications out of the hands of the bureaucrats. They dont take a position on the right to try laws, they already have at least three pathways to allow patients access to experimental. There are Clinical Trials run by Drug Companies and if a patient doesnt qualify, they allow individuals and even groups of patients to apply for access to experimental meds outside of a trial. Since 2009, the fda said they had 99 of the individuals and group applications. The agency seems to work quite well. Im not sure what the state right to try bill really adds to that. In fact i think it might take away some of the safety advantages people have where you have institutions. You have somebody checking and make sure the patients are fully aware of what they are getting into and what you know so far. They believe right to try laws are wellintentioned especially with the time it takes to get new drugs to market. That are process can take years. If are many people who are terminally ill, they dont have years. The law said you know what, we are tired of the bureaucratic obstacles and we will pass a law who said if you are terminally ill past stage one, the small number of people, you can get anything you want. Kaplan said a federal regulation is necessary to ensure patients are aware of risks. I personally had given access to sitting on Research Ethics committees to many new drugs. A number of them killed them more quickly than they would have died from the disease because it had horrible side effects. You can also die more miserably. If they have such a high approval rate when it comes to experimental access, why have so many taken to the web to plead their cases. The Clinical Trials for medicine can help. Sometimes the Drug Companies say no and right to try bills wouldnt change that. The pharmaceutical research and manufacturers of america, an agree group said their members have to evaluate the harm or pain the meds might cause and they consider all applications on a case by case basis. The lawmaker concedes that the federal government is not the only hurdle to accessing investigational drugs. This is a step in the right direction. We need the fda in our world, but we need access to care and i firmly believe we will see a boat load of new medicines that are out there in the investigational world and we need to gain access to those at a faster pace. For christina, his stepdaughter, government regulators have noplace in her medical care. They are not sitting there counseling me on the medications and what i should or shouldnt do. How to take care of myself and keep myself healthy. And my doctor is. If my doctor thinks the medication would help me in some way, thats up to my doctor. That shouldnt be up to somebody that has no involvement in my care. Christina is not taking any investigational drug and at this point her doctors are not seeking access. Onef the 40 Clinical Trials for her type of cancer. At a later stage, if she opts to try a drug as a last resort outside of a trial, she wants that choice to be hers alone. Find out about right to try efforts across the United States. Watch the goggle plus hang out from Kaiser Health news. Visit news hour. Pds. Org. If you Pay Attention to the news, people pay extraordinary prices for a piece of history. The man scripts from john lennon. A 1 cent stamp from the 1800s. 142 million for this painting by francis bacon. Bids for this 18th century viola. One of the ten believed to exist. They are expected to start at 45 million. That makes plenty of sense to some people, much less to others. News hours hannah yee reports. Its 15 minutes before a concert in new york city and viola player Aaron Carpenter is warming up. Its special. He is using a viola nearly 300 years old. The instrument heard by all these great composers, just to see where the timeline of this instrument in World History is. Its quite something. Eight of the musicians are also using instruments. Named after the same 18th century italian. It was the da vinci of his time. The master craftsman. It is genius what he did. They survived 300 years and still sound glorious. On this night, he is playing the viola at an event and the auction house is expecting the instrument and expects to sell it for more than 45 million. The carpenter is worth it. People who are willing to spend over 100 million. A great da vinci painting, i put this in the same category as the master works and i think these have escaped our civilization and cultu without them. We would have the same instruments today. But to others like this violin maker who has been making high end violins for nearly 30 year, that price is too high. Especially when the best instruments typically cost around 50,000. A miniscule fraction of what this is expected to cost. What makes a strat great . I find that it 15u78s that all strats are great. He makes his violins by hand, using the seasonth century tools. He also incorporates 21st Century Technology like the scans and 3d lasers. How the wood vibrates to the sake of the sound hole. He thinks the sound quality are as gorgeous. I couldnt tell the difference. I had to admit i preferred my own violins at this point. They were telling me the same thing. Could this instrument possibly sound as good as strats . They wanted to find out. Years ago just outside of paris, he blind folded the international soloists. They played both modern i have lips and strats. The musicians posted the violins in a hotel room and with a full orchestra at a concert hall. Many of the soloists couldnt tell the difference between the new and the old violins. In fact many took the modern violins as their favorite. It would be amazing. Otherwise its the price to pay. Maybe this entire debate about the quality of sound misses a bigger point. Hat music lovers or investors on the strat are more interested in owning a piece of history. When you are kind of putting one against the other, its almost disrespectful. At the end of the day, the modern instruments are pretty much copies. To say that one is better than the other, you have to take into account the history as well. In the case of this strat, history will come at a price. Starting at 45 million. This is pbs news hour weekend saturday. They went to great expense to prepare for the world cup. One event in sao paulo cost 400 million, but they brought hardship for many of the poor left homeless. From englands channel 4, a report. He came here a month ago with 1,000 other families.
