The medical establishment approves of it.
Are we still trusting the experts?
- BitwiseFool 5y ago>"Are we still trusting the experts?" I am, but not on this.
- jjulius 5y agoBecause if you're wrong about one thing, you must be wrong about everything!
- throwaway48292 5y agoIt's especially bad because of the profit motive and needlessly doing it so young before consent can be given IMO. I can't accuse people in this position of not being sufficiently trusting.
- edmcnulty101 5y ago> It's especially bad because of the profit motive and needlessly doing it so young before consent can be given This applies to other modern medical procedures as well.
- edmcnulty101 5y agoHow often are the experts wrong though?
- netizen-936824 5y agoI think a better question might be: Are they really experts? Experts at what, exactly?
- edmcnulty101 5y agoI've been asking these same questions for a long time. But I think only certain experts are allowed to be trusted. And the experts to be trusted are determined by people who are not experts. It's confusing. It's like there needs to be an expert on experts. But then we would need an expert on expert on experts to know which expert on experts to trust. So it's pretty confusing to me.

- edmcnulty101 5y agoThis is a good sane method. Trust but verify.
