It sounds like many are (does that mean 20% are? 50%? 80%? not sure). They seem to be trying it just in the hopes it works - ty97 Apr 7, 07:28 15

        Do you want to try the experimental, we-don't-know-if-it-has-side-effects drug? Or do you want to DIE? Don't think too hard on this one. -- nm - House Apr 7, 07:35 3
