Why do they sell drugs like that? Well, there are lots of reasons, none of them evil. Generally speaking,the chance of a fatal effect is low, and the probability of benefit is so high that it's been decided that the minor risk is worth it for enough people. It's a judgement call based on the fact that if you reject any treatment where death is possible you reject just about all of medicine. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
