In some cases radiation reduces the incidence of cancer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am now almost certain that we need more radiation for better health.
My main frustration is the fear of cancer from low dose radiation, even by radiologists.
It is likely that we need more radiation to improve our longevity.
The radiation was worse by far. I had bandages all over my head. I looked like a mummy. On the side of my head and neck and down to my collarbone, I had second-degree burns. My skin blistered and peeled before it grew back. That was the worst part of it.
I'm sorry to say cancer can kill you, but it doesn't make you a better person.
The life expectancy of people going to Mars may be decreased by the higher level of radiation that they receive.
The worst situation with radiation escaping is if you are downwind from it. You could virtually be on one side and not affected by the radiation. If you're on the other side and you're downwind from it, you are going to be affected.
At my age, the radiation will probably do me good.
Most medical physicists work in the physics of radiation oncology making sure that the desired dose is given to the cancer and the dose to normal tissues are minimized.
The notion that the levels of radiation would be damaging to human life is preposterous. It's simply not true. It is a political claim more than it is a scientific claim. THAAD has been a thoroughly tested system, and it has been extremely effective.
