well, that's not what I said either, so bad on you for the false analogy. Staying in line with my actual argument and using your analogy; what is the success rate of chemo? This is absolutely a main driver in the treatment decision making process.

5%? Nah, I'll pass; I don't want to spend my last six months in agony, so it's not worth it (i.e., bad trade-off). 95%? Hell yes, sign me up. Your own analogy supports what I said earlier.

On a side note, the statement "Chemotherapy will probably cure your cancer" is also not true and shows a bit of ignorance re cancer therapies in general.
