- injidup 6y agoThe comment I was replying to said. > I think the concern is that medical ethics say (roughly) you cannot give anyone a treatment which, based on odds, harms them This is clearly not true as we do medical interventions all the time that we know may harm the patient on the assumption that most people will gain a benefit. It's naive and dangerous to spread the idea that the good medical intervention is a 100 percent safe one. That's the pitch of the "alternative" medical industry and only possible for 100 percent ineffective medication. There is no effect without side effects and no benefit without risk.
