Can civil lawsuits stem the tide of direct-to-consumer marketing of unproven stem cell interventions
"While patients may believe they have nothing to lose in trying an unproven SCI, there is a real risk of losses to the patients themselves, to others suffering from intractable medical conditions, and to society. Civil litigation efforts, in conjunction with increased regulatory enforcement and public education campaigns, may convincingly show patients and society that there are real and significant harms from unproven SCIs, and this strategy may complement the arsenal of efforts focused on reining in this industry."
