1) Pediatric Cancer Treatments are beneficial to adult cancers. They have less side effects and are usually more effective due to the fact that children's bodies and cells are all growing. Most adult treatments are too harsh and attack all the cells.
2) Treat a 60 year old smoker for lung cancer and you gain maybe 10 years. Treat a 10 year old and you have 60+ years saved. Most adults get cancer because of poor life choices.
3) Save your own life as a full grown adult or save a child. MOST of us would choice to save the kid. https://phys.org/news/2014-08-driverless-car-child-life.html https://phys.org/news/2014-08-driverless-car-child-life.html
