Stem Cell Firm May Have Administered Unproven Treatments

In order to form an opinion on the matter, it would be useful to know if the treatments have any effect.

You know... evidence based science?

Model-based science is all the rage nowadays, and that we can't allow anything to happen unless we have a clear understanding of why it should happen before we try.

The debate as to whether these people should be labelled snake-oil salesmen or experimentalists would seem to rest on this. Is this government intrusion into people's right to choose, or a regulatory agency stepping in to keep people safe?

We need to know the risks and potential benefits in addition to the opinions of an insular, jargonized profession.

It's not always about trusting the experts.
