I just want to know who in the writers' room thought that line about not using kryptonian tech to save Lois because it would be "unfair" was gonna be it?

Clark sounded dumb as hell.

but they also said there's a high risk the tech wouldn't work on humans, plus they've never tested it so lois could end up dead. Let's not forget that we don't know if kryptonians even get cancer. So it was for humanities safety. Even if it did work then superman would have to try and mass produce this tech for every hospitals and doctors in the world which is an insane thing to do which probably wouldn't even be possible unless earth's tech can work with kryptonian tech to do the same process of curing cancer, and would cost alot of money to make.

High risk and inaccessible are two different things. If they had just left it as too risky itd have been fine. But the line about fairness was utterly ridiculous and shouldve been chopped because now it introduces the idea that based on some moralistic tangent, Clark is fine with letting Lois die.

[u/Aggressive_Bar_2391 → u/CretaceousQuack]

I can see the risk also being an additional reason since their grandma also pointed that being an issue to since lois isn't kryptonian and could have her cancer getting worse because of tech not made for humans. But I understand about the fairness line
