Philosophy Wire: HIV, diseases, treatments and “treatments”…

C0075718-Gene_Therapy-SPLPhilosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-09-21]: Scientists announced that one patient has been cured by a genetic treatment [source: web news]. Of course they do not like to mention that none of the other patients who had undergone the same treatment were not cured. The hastiness of scientists to produce good results is starting to resemble… pure stupidity! In the old days we needed to wait years before we were sure a medicine was good. Now they announce one “success” after the other, before they even cure a… second patient!
