About this listen

Best-selling author Matt Zemon explores why cancer patients can access experimental cancer treatments but not psilocybin—despite research showing it's safer and more effective for depression and distress than many standard treatments. If we already accept the risks of radiation and chemo, why do we deny access to medicines that could ease the psychological suffering of cancer? This conversation examines the moral right to try and what it means for people living with cancer.
