  I would never force someone to do it but if they were dying from the cancer anyway then the 10% of the chance of the cure might be worth it.

no because there is a bigger chance of them dying than living.

  Yes but they’re probably going to die anyway if you gave them this cure they at least have a 10% chance of living.
