Raw vs Boiled egg?

I got asked last night whether raw eggs are preferred over boiled eggs.
Just thought I would post the answer here.
A few blogs recommend eating raw eggs rather than boiled. I really do not see why.
The risk of salmonella poisoning with raw eggs is quite real. It is also not palatable for most people.
Bioavailability of raw eggs is 51% whereas that of boiled eggs is 91%. What that means is about 91% of boiled eggs that are consumed are absorbed by the body as compared to 51% for raw eggs.
The concern regarding some enzymes being denatured during the cooking process is unwarranted.
