a contemporary issue for you to consider: chemotherapy

Or rather, why people may choose not to go with chemotherapy as a cancer treatment. Orac has a great post on this. The context: a sad case in the US where a 13-year-old has rejected chemo for a cancer (Hodgkins lymphoma) where chemo has an excellent track record in terms of cure/remission. The underlying motivations are quite complex & I think Orac’s done a superb job of teasing them out.
