    Well it’s both. Space age treatments… If you can afford it.

    (I’m not saying it provides the best overall outcomes for the whole population, but you can’t contest the quality of high end hospitals like mayo clinic or similar)

      I don’t think you give someone an A+ for doing 1% of the project really really well.

      Like the Nazis were actually environmentalists. They also advanced medical science by decades. Do we praise them for it?

      I don’t mean to invoke Nazis, but you get my point yeah? If the vast majority of the people who need the treatment cannot get it? That isn’t ‘both’ in my opinion.

      A lot of third world countries have top of the line medical treatments. The difference to socially developed countries is in how accessible it is to the general population.
