bag,

Then give up!

As long as people like you are satisfied to weigh the risk/benfit ratio of questionable drugs, personalized medicine will remain just someone's dream.

In this regard, everyone is like me. Whether the 'questionable' drug is aspirin for your headache and the side effect is the tummy ache you sometimes get, or whether the 'questionable' drug is penicillin for a life threatening infection and the side effect is a possible alergic reaction, everyone makes risk/benefit judgements.

There will never come a time when such judgements don't have to be made.

Personalized medicine will never replace such judgements. Personalized medicine will succeed however, when it provides a favorable outcome in such a judgement.
