    I know, but the risk of injury is so high, and the history of medical snake-oil salesmen exploiting the desperate is long and bloody.

    This is like letting people build shanty-towns to deal with the housing shortage: it helps in the short-term, but the chance or harm is huge and it takes energy away from dealing with the real issue.

      I actually think this is bringing an enormous amount of attention to the issue, especially once this group goes to court/jail for it. Where else should this energy be spent? This isn’t a new issue and it’s only got worse over time. I think extreme measures are warranted.
