I'm not a medical expert by any means, but you claiming this is unlikely to ever be a viable idea makes me think of the sheer number of things we take for granted today in medicine that to a 19th century or even an early 20th century doctor would seem flatly absurd, or completely incredible. A supposition of never makes a bet that one's own limited frame of knowledge, cognitive capacity and imagination has a leg up on all the potential decades ahead of us worth of new discoveries by a vast number of other very clever people. It' s a bet I wouldn't make in my own favor or anyone else's.
