Marie Curie, now at the highest point of her fame and; from 1922, a member of the Academy of Medicine, researched the chemistry of radioactive substances and their medical applications.
From her earnings Marie was able to finance her sister Bronia's medical studies in Paris, on the understanding that Bronia would, in turn, later help her to get an education.

NASA's corps of astronauts are pretty fit, and undergo rigorous medical testing, but space tourists and workers could be a lot less healthy. It will most likely fall to physicians to give consent for their patients.
