For this reason I have mixed feelings concerning Richard Scolyer’s glioblastoma treatment. On one hand it’s great that he has possibly found something that works and will in time become the new standard of care. At the same time it is disturbing that thousands of patients who are not renowned scientists have to die without a chance to try the same treatment.
- teyc 2y agoYou make a good point. Could there be a case for new ethical considerations to be made. The issue is patients are very vulnerable and no one really knows how bad the downside may be. A prolonged agonising or disabling death can be far worse.
- melling 2y agoIt is disturbing. For some reason it’s not disturbing enough that we spend more to try and cure these diseases. The Last Lecture was given almost 20 years ago. Pancreatic cancer is just as deadly today. https://youtu.be/ji5_MqicxSo?si=bn6VBPaWraUfO-zC https://youtu.be/ji5_MqicxSo?si=bn6VBPaWraUfO-zC
