Having a grand dad that was "clear" of cancer three months ago, and just had
a small brain tumor removed this week, "three months" is relative (and I am
not really fully objective on the subject). I did a bit of review on tumors
and for some 3 months is enough time to wreak havoc in some of the types (but
far from all of them). Three months is also a nebulous term in some ways
since "three months from what", the first cancer cell, the first symptoms we
recognize/ignore, etc.? We want so much for things to be understandable that
we try and put concrete limits on things that are not always fully
understantable. I am not speaking to/against the ethics, Zim is right that
this is a whole complex area all in itself.
