So fraud isn't really fraud if people are going to get better anyway?
- stfu 14y agoIf the believe in an illusion makes the symptoms improve I think it is completely legitimate. Maybe the same would have been achieved by a psychologist sitting down with them for a few sessions. But if the same result can be achieved by a placebo pill, I am all for it. Ultimately I see the goal of medicine to improve the conditions of the patient and if simple psychological triggers like placebo-similar medicine can achieve this, I am all for it.
