Would you wish cancer upon a child?

Would you wish cancer upon a child? No?
Would you wish cancer upon a child, if the odds were below a full 100% - say, "with most studies reporting a range of 13% to 25%"[1]?
Pediatric patients with long-COVID report high symptom burden, which appears to meet or exceed that of other chronic health conditions (eg, cancer, type 1 diabetes, asthma, and sickle cell disease)[1]
Do you ask your child to wear an uncomfortable seat belt so that, in the unlikely event of a crash, they are less likely to be seriously harmed?
Have you considered having a talk with them about airborne pathogens, and the health burdens of sequelae? Because wearing an N95 is a LOT less awkward than a symptom burden exceeding cancer.
