If we could diagnose w/ 100% accuracy then it would be easy. If our medications had no side effects and resistance to antibiotics didn't then it would be easy.

If we could diagnose w/ 100% accuracy then it would be easy. If our medications had no side effects and resistance to antibiotics didn't then it would be easy. But once you put those two things together, even throwing economics aside, you have to be careful that you're not harming more people than helping, net.
Well, in my last paragraph, I said it probably wouldn't be easy. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try. I admit, I have a bias towards personal choice - I suppose it's possible society would be worse off with more freedom in this case.
