Answer:
Science is portrayed as a boon because it has the ability to fully cure an individual with cancer.
Step-by-step explanation:
"Too Bad" was written by Isaac Asimov and is a science fiction tale that shows a reality where science has evolved to the point that it is capable of totally destroying an individual's cancer cells, through a robot. This robot is introduced into the body of the person who has cancer and can extend throughout the body completely destroying any type of cancer cell or malefic tumor. Of course, this technology has a price, but this evolution is treated in the book as a blessing, making science a big boon.
