C’mon, it’s extremely disingenuous to compare abortion and contraception with untested treatment.

  Assisted suicide and euthanasia are better examples. If you have autonomy to die, you should have autonomy to die trying not to.

    Well, those are pretty controversial topics, so I'm not sure how much the analogy helps.

      It helps underline the hypocrisy of the current moral norms.

  It’s unfair to call treatments untested. Medications are tested extensively. The FDA could work with sponsors to come up with a range of risk profiles and expand access.

    > The FDA could work with sponsors to come up with a range of risk profiles and expand access. They indeed do this and have various avenues for treatments to be approved on expedited timelines.

    I agree: not completely untested, but not tested sufficiently to get an FDA approval. They show early promising results. BTW people picking such experimental treatments would provide important data points.
