The other comment by you I also disagree with is that some cancers don't grow as fast so YOU feel as though they might not cause deadly consequences.... MIGHT NOT! Simple question. If you have a bomb strapped to your body and it's ticking but you don't know exactly when or if that bomb will go off are you going to have an expert in the field try and diffuse the bomb or are going to take your chances. I would predict that a person of sound mind would not hesitate to have that bomb diffused and removed. Another way to look at it is if the bomb was just strapped to your body wouldn't you feel better knowing that you had MORE TIME to diffuse it. This is the best analogy I can conceive, and I would bet that anyone unfortunate enough to experience cancer would agree that it feels like they have a ticking time bomb strapped to their body. When I even hear the word cancer I equate it with death or suffering. Does anyone else see this differently?

You are the perfect example that Dr. Kramer refers to. If someone knows they have a cancer, even if it is determined to be slow growing and non lethal, they cannot stand the thought of having any cancer and they want it removed. What Dr. Kramer and others are stating is that someone is just better off never knowing about any slow growing cancers. Their life will be much better and they will not suffer the consequences of unnecessary operations.
