I am actually an MD.

> Had we enforced a full-body MRI for every patient, we would quickly amass enough imaging data to know which anomalies are malignant and which are not to a very high degree

How, pray tell, are we actually determining which are malignant and which are not?? I’ll give you a hint: the charitable explanation is you are completely ignorant, the less charitable one is that you consider Mengele and Ishii modern medicine heroes. And that is even if the determination by imaging alone is even possible.

Once again I have to point out on HN... not everyone in the medical world is an idiot incapable of analytical thinking, it is just that a lot of us care about ethics. Our patients, even in research, are more than just numbers.
