In general I'd support that we have medical professionals to make these decisions for us. I would prefer to have someone I trust, is well educated on the subject, and keeps up with the literature who can point me in the right direction. One result of the specialization in our society and our inability to stay on top of every subject that affects our lives, is that no one can make a truly informed claim on every life decision. Sadly, many health practitioners are less motivated by science and more motivated by process. They stop educating themselves after they have finished their residency equivalent. Once they are in charge of medical decisions they are bombarded with marketing, which has the goal of selling products, not necessarily with helping anyone. At this point, I don't know who to trust for medical advice.
