Unfortunately I have been living under a rock recently.

Can someone please ELI5 it for me ?

    The important thing to remember here is that there is always a risk-reward trade-off. No matter what you do, you’re always making a choice, and doing nothing is also bad for you.

    It’s one thing to open up the skull to give a locked in individual a much greater quality of life.

    It’s a completely different thing to treat toenail fungus with a drug that has a sufficiently high probability of killing your liver (and killing you or requiring a transplant).
