The argument's reasoning is flawed because the argument
fails to specify what is meant by "normal functioning of the human body"
fails to consider the consequences of not administering the treatment
presumes that every patient with the disease is treated with the drug
does not consider the length of time needed for the treatment to begin taking effect
does not acknowledge that the effects of the treatment may not be of the same severity in all cases
