Terminally Ill Patients and Supporters Rally For Right To Try Experimental Drugs

Terminally Ill Patients and Supporters Rally For Right To Try Exper... ReasonTV On June 16th, 2016, terminally ill patients and their supporters rallied Congress in Washington, D.C., asking lawmakers to give them the right to try experimental drugs not yet approved by the FDA. If passed by Congress, House Bill 3012 - Right to Try Act would protect the 31 states with right-to-try laws already in place from federal interference, thereby giving terminally ill patients access to drugs still pending the FDA's final approval. Among the attendees were patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), spinal muscular dystrophy (SMA), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)—a muscle weakening disorder also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. All three are currently incurable. "Most ALS patients don't have 5 years, most don't have 2 years," explained Matt Bellina, a former navy aviator currently fighting ALS. "Right now, as an ALS patient, I have no hope." The My Right To Try Rally was sponsored by the Have A Heart Foundation and co-sponsored by the Goldwater Institute.

Build More Housing

Build More Housing ReasonTV San Francisco's YIMBY movement is pushing the city to build its way out of the housing crisis. Subscribe: https://goo.gl/NqjoWI Read more: https://goo.gl/wCQluN San Francisco is one of the most expensive places to live in the country and has become the symbol of the nation's housing crisis. A booming jobs market and years of underdevelopment have led to skyrocketing real estate prices and rents in the region. In 2015, the Bay area added 64,000 jobs but built less than 5,000 housing units. The median home price is now over the million dollar mark and an average one-bedroom apartment rents for more than $3,500 a month. The high cost has made it difficult for many residents to find affordable housing within the city. The problem represents a classic case of supply and demand—with more people moving to the region, more housing needs to be built.

Fox cub trapped by football net

Fox cub trapped by football net Wildlife Aid Football is all over the news in the UK, but it seems that this fox cub wanted to be involved a bit too much! Simon was called out to a fox cub that was heavily tangled, garrotting itself, in a garden football net. Expecting serious constriction wounds, Simon arrived with his trusty cutters and a carry case... watch the video to see what happened! We are alerted to this sort of incident all-too-frequently here at WAF; many animals are injured or even killed by netting every year. If you do have one of these nets, please ensure you raise the netting by approximately one foot when not in use to give our furry friends a chance!
