Medical guidelines are there for a reason and are often, as they say in the military, "written in blood".

Having seen a family member die absolutely horrifically in a matter of weeks due to late-diagnosed pancreatic cancer, I'd consider suicide if I got the same diagnosis.

They aren’t going to know if it does that until they give it to a human in the first place. The only difference in giving it now is they lack a control group.
Having seen the last ten days of pancreatic cancer, there isn’t really a difference with what you’re describing.
