there are certainly ethical issues involved, but it is a deriliction of our duty to help one another to close off this avenue of research. a passage i think is germaine to this debate:

do not let him leave you, for you need him.
There may come a time when recovery lies in the hands of physicians, for they too pray to the Lord that he grant them success in diagnosis and in healing, for the sake of preserving life.
