Kwestia dostępu do terapii eksperymentalnej w orzecznictwie Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka

The article focuses on the issue of access to experimental therapy under the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and more specifically in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. To date, this issue has been the subject of three cases decided by the Court. In none of these cases the Court has recognized a right to experimental therapy. The article has two main research objectives. The first is to reconstruct the arguments for the validity of the right to experimental therapy provided by the applicants in the cases considered by the Court. The second objective is to assess these arguments, as well as their criticism that might be found in Court’s decisions.
