Hey, I see an area of agreement: for terminal patients, go for it!  If I am terminal and I can see the end of the road coming, then I will use that stuff.  Or perhaps not, but in those circumstances, I might give it a try.  Not now.

Ja the risk of wasted potential is a risk I am willing to take.  Were I Peter Parker, I would say my spidey sense is tingling whenever the notion arises.  I will consider it once the local medic tells me she can do no more for me.  

 

Onward!
