Science Denialism or False Hope?

RE: Science Denialism or False Hope?
Quote:Is this kind of false hope good, or is it dangerous and prone to breeding more science denialism

As she is continuing with traditional medicine,her behaviour seems more desperation, perhaps backed by the sensible notion of doing SOMETHING,as long as it does no harm.

Perhaps in denial about the severity her illness? Perfectly understandable. Nor can I see anything wrong with any kind of hope in such circumstances. Who am I to insist a person MUST face their imminent death?
