And yes a lot of medical breakthroughs came from the horrible experiments done by the Nazi's

and potentially getting new medicines to the people who need them more rapidly. Not to mention the potential applications of stem cell-derived organs in toxicology screens for new pharmaceutical compounds

in order to reduce the chances of severe side effects manifesting further down the line in real living people.

In a newly released paper published in the New england Journal of Medicine Hollis and co-author Ziana Ahmed state that in the United states 80 per cent of the antibiotics in the country are consumed in agriculture and aquaculture for the purpose of increasing food production.

Modern medicine relies on antibiotics to kill off bacterial infections explains Hollis. This is incredibly important. Without effective antibiotics any surgery--even minor ones--will become extremely risky.

Cancer therapies similarly are dependent on the availability of effective antimicrobials. Ordinary infections will kill otherwise healthy people.

Meanwhile the authors acknowledge the study's limitations namely the reliance on self-reporting of allergies the limitation of soliciting answers about current allergies only and particularly the limited number of hematologic cancers for each subset of allergy types.

Given the limited number of cases within each subtype of hematologic cancer the risk estimates need to be interpreted with caution
