I suppose you'd like to take FDA-unapproved medication? I wouldn't.

I would.
(I would, however, be looking to other sources of approval. Take Daraprim, the infamous $750 pill - at the time of the price hike, it was trivially available from perfectly safe foreign suppliers at <$1, just not with the FDAs approval. It's only available in the US now at that price because some people found a regulatory loophole that allowed them to sell it without the FDAs approval.)

You say it like there's a choice.

You say that like there's a sane and safe alternative.

What if you don't care? If I were terminally ill, dying in a few months, I would definitely be interested in trying the latest experimental drugs. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? (Although legalizing euthanasia would help too.)

This is already happening, even with agencies like the FDA in place. It's called off-label use:
