I have a BIG problem with this—and all cancer quackery—and that's informed consent. Quacks always overpromise and underestimate the risks. Also, these parents are the victims of a con and that's how I view these cases, as examples of fraud that actively harms the child.https://twitter.com/ABatemanHouse/status/1040657617109086210 …

Here's an even bigger problem with this. The child is a separate entity, and subjecting a child to a completely unproven treatment ignores the rights of that child as a separate entity with his own rights. That the parents worked for the money matters not at all to me.

Replying to @gorskon
We let parents make kids' medical decisions unless convicted of child abuse/deemed incompetent/etc; often parents chose things we may not support. If evidence that desired intervention is harmful, we should go 2 court. But if no evidence either way....leave it to the parents IMHO

Wrong in this case. Read my 4-part serious to see how horrific this clinic is. That are quacks like Burzynsk, except that they don't even try to do clinical trials even as a marketing tool and their treatment us much more invasive.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/07/03/clinica-0-19-not-making-dipg-history-in-monterrey-part-1/ …
