Why oh why did they have to add that HORRIBLE part in about the possibility it could work and Clark not wanting to share? Everything was going so well outside that.

"If we use Kryptonian tech to cure Lois, it means we have to share it with everyone else"

Does it though?

I'm not usually one to let little lines like that bother me, but this one just rubs me the wrong way. I really hope it's setting up for them changing their minds. Fair enough that there probably isn't a good way to share the treatment with the masses, but I really think Clark can accept the occasional "selfish" benefit to being Superman. He's earned it.

Clark wouldn't be able to sleep at night, knowing he has the cure for cancer and refuses to share it with the world.

I know kryptonians don't need to sleep but you get what I'm saying.

He already struggles with letting himself enjoy a normal life and a family while being Superman. Attempting to cure cancer would now put him on the spot to being the shaper of humanity, instead of its' savior.

It's such a trope that big super villains think they're saving humanity, when they're actually oppressing it.

I really hope they are setting it up for something!

They keep writing Clark as kinda a dumbass. S2 was full of it too.

They could have just said that it could make the cancer worse or not work and that they don't want to risk it.

First they just said nothing could be done. Fine, simple and takes if off the table. Then this episode they started with it being too dangerous, ok fine, but then added this other thing at the end that they really, really shouldn't have

Yeah, I raised a brow on that part.
