The people who believe and fall for this new discourses are produced by these new technological and scientific advances. It isn’t a truth waiting to be grasped out there.

Probably because those people didn’t have a choice due to the limitations of medicine.

How about we decide to do the sensible thing and take advantage of modern medicine??
