But even I'm not one of those who suffer from cancer, I approve this style of treatment for cancer which is a nightmare upon most of us. And also I agree with Pho3b3 who says ''anyone in the last stages of terminal cancer would jump at the chance of survival.''

If you are diagnosed with an advance stage cancer, with only around 30% of 5 years survival rate with the present chemotherapy technique ( that is, 70% of those with similar condition will die within 5 years, and not knowing whether you'll be those who'll die, or those who'll live), what do you think? Cancer is much more common than you think. and the modern medicine, at best, can only prolong your life. And that life is not the kind of life that you now taken for granted. it's a life in a downward spiral into suffering and dependancy, where your natural body function will fail, one by one, taken over by the cancer tissue. If that question is asked to my patients, i think most of them would say "yes, please". “What do you think–would you allow researchers to inject tiny robots into your blood?”
