Radical Treatments

haven’t all cures in the making for the ailments which once did us humans in, been considered “radical treatments” or elemental hogwash, prior to their ability to heal the sick & go down in history as yet another small step for all of us still ticking away “healthily?” how many lab mice & lab rats can get annihilated before that first human steps up to be the guinea pig & just what does it take to get to such a point? as everyone’s body chemistry is different & there isn’t a wonder drug for anyone to keep them alive indefinitely (yet), then it would seem that anything which stops the pain, does so radically, setting off a new revolution in the body, insisting that one must go on & anyone who gets in the way of such groundbreaking attempts at healing, is more a blockade to our general progress as a species, than any one person who may die as a result of wanting to stay alive & not give up.
