Can we speed up the drug development process?

This is an Ebola virus and it is interesting that governments have approved the testing of an relatively-untested drug (it has not had the proper human trials) in people infected with this deadly virus.....However, when it comes to progressive MS, you have to wait until it goes through years of testing before you get a choice of whether you take the risk of a test drug in a trial. Is it time that governments are more inventive to speed the drug development process up? It should suit pharma and could suit you. 

However, should your protection be the primary driver? This is what the current process aims to do?
