You have to be sure.”

It can achieve remissions in about 7% of all human cancers; for an additional 15% of cases, survival can be "prolonged" beyond the point at which death would be expected without treatment.

And so people go around maiming and killing each other, because they've been told quite directly that this is what God does to them--and what God wants them to do to each other.”

“People have a need for certainty - and that need for certainty is in every human being, certainty that you can avoid pain, certainty that you can at least be comfortable. It's a survival instinct.”
