The problem is the doctors can't lift the curse. At best, they can only treat it, and sometimes you treat it by bargaining other aspects of your life for it (the side effects medicine and treatment may give.) There are no "shortcomings" to learn a life lesson from. Or perhaps they are. Cinderella is told there are no fairy godmothers, so pull your self up by your bootstraps and go get your prince! Until she realizes what this mean is that unless she is incredibly lucky, she will be a scully maid forever. Be careful when you wish for this. The reality is that a secular and scientific culture cannot solve or help as much as you think, and by driving out people's illusions about their chances you might end up driving any sense of hope from them at all.
