- serf 13y agoIf you are to blame homeopathy for the death of Steve Jobs, might I remind you that he was the person who chose to pursue such quackery? Personally if you were to ask me about his death, i'd blame the cancer for killing him, not the 'science' he investigated in an effort to fix the problem.
- fetbaffe 13y agoOf course it was the cancer that killed him, however by using homeopathy as a cure it certainly fasten the process by not actually curing him. But I don't hate cancer, it's a natural thing, but I do hate homeopathy because it's 100% man made quackery. If one of my relatives died sooner because they had been let to believe to use this nonsense I definite blame the salesman of scamming my relative of money, trust and a longer life. It is the same as the Christian church in the middle ages selling salvation for money to dying people. Despicable.
- mikeash 13y agoJobs had a relatively benign cancer that has something like a 90% survival rate. Jobs's case was not unusually deadly, and there is every reason to think he would have been cured if he had received proper treatment reasonably soon after being diagnosed. It goes beyond simply wishing he hadn't died, too. He managed to finagle a healthy liver transplant in the process, which might have gone to someone with a better chance of surviving with it longer.
