IANAL, but it’s my understanding that you can’t waive your rights to life (no matter how much amusement parks insist that you can).
It’s probably more accurate to say that when you do sign such a waiver, it’s going to be an exceptionally involved process that includes a lot of time providing information to provide for genuinely informed consent (2nd, 3rd, 10th opinions, counselors, hospital lawyers, your lawyers, etc) when you’re in your right mind.
Experimental medicines for terminal patients are hard to get, for a good reason.
