Consider the following situation:

A patient with a life-threatening disease has been unconscious for several weeks. A new, experimental medicine aimed at curing this disease has recently been developed. The drug company that developed this medicine would like to give the medicine to this patient in hopes that the patient will be cured.

Is this practice ethical?
Yes; the experimental drug may save the patient's life.

No; the patient has not paid for the medication.

Maybe; if the experimental drug helps the patient, then the practice is ethical.

No; the unconscious patient is not able to give his/her consent to taking the experimental drug.

It is unethical because it is using an unconscious host/body as testing device, which could potentially be inefficient.
