It is a fundamentally bad idea to do without very specific understanding of the risks. E.g. many programs intended to expand mass screening for breast cancer were reconsidered after it became clear that it was not a given that they would provide a net benefit, because it takes a very low level of risk from screenings and subsequent follow-ups before mass screening becomes harmful when applied to groups where it is likely to save many lives. |
