But at what cost to freedom?

Weird. I would assume that in some patients this would lead to the immune system going nuts and attacking healthy cells because you break down the protein coatings that keep the body from attacking itself, turning every organ into a transplant that gets rejected.
I've watched enough House M.D. to know this is what would happen.

Sanest Man Alive - 2014-10-30 See also: rheumatoid arthritis, another barely understood autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the body's own synovial fluid, causing pain in the joints even without exertion. Hell, in my mom's case, it was even attacking her in places that didn't HAVE joints (synovial fluid is present damned near everywhere in the body, as it acts as a cushion not only between bones but organs as well). The most effective medication in her treatment regimen was an immunosupressant which is normally prescribed for chemo patients.
So yeah, maybe they can make this work, but I've got plenty of reason to doubt.

I've played enough video games to know what happens next.

This is amazing, finally a cure for cancer! What's even MORE amazing is that the molecule that's in the drug, holding the medicine together looks like CROSS.

Dude deserves death because he's reading the Da Vinci Code.
