People want to get something for their money.

That was likely one of the most retarded things you've said in your entire life. How about medical research that saves your fucking life, you twat.

And of course most people wouldn't want to watch surgeries, that is not at all the point. Anyone who bases their ideas of the importance of matters on which is more happy-happy-fun doesn't deserve modern medicine.

Which would be an excuse only if you're willing to openly admit that you're taking the standpoint of a shallow and dumbed down person who cares about nothing more than tangible goods.
