Imagine that one night on the news, you saw a report that chemists had discovered a medicine to cure cancer. Would you believe t
hat this report was true? What questions would you want to see answered in the report to help you make your decision? Answer in two to three paragraphs.
Yes I would believe that this report was true, because nobody would lie on a news channel that they cured cancer and then not cure it. That would completely ruin their credibility as well as the news channels credibility. So no news channel would take the story if it was made up.
I would like to see there studies on how the medicine kills off the cancer and the side effects of the medicine on the human body. I would want to know how the medicine is made, if its FDA approved, and how the medicine will be distributed across the globe and at what prices, as well as how easily the medicine expires.
I will probably believe the report but want to find out more details. First is cure for which cancer has been found. Cancer is a general name for a large family of different diseases. So it is very likely that the cure is for some specific cancers.
Secondly I want to know if the cure has any side effect. The typical treatments for cancer now are radiation and chemo therapy. Both can cause serious side effects.
Lastly the cost of cure is important. New drugs with patent protection can be very expensive which limit on how many people can afford the treatment.
