cataloging this vast quantity of benign tumors that we have in our bodies. But it's also an argument that makes sense when you start to consider these interventions at a population level, because at a population level, we're all a statistic. But at the individual level, we only have one life. You know, if we lose that one, we don't get a do-over.
