    (Disclaimer: haven’t read the article yet, definitely going to get to it later today.)

    This is kind of thing where I am so torn between philosophy and pragmatism.

    1. Morally, bodily autonomy is very important. Framing this as “right to repair for your own body” is a fascinating way of thinking about it, and makes a clear, ethical argument in favor or DIY medicine. And that’s on top of the fact that we shouldn’t have to rely on giant corporations for our health.
    2. The potential consequences of this are terrifying, not just for misinformed people, but their children as well.

    On a meta note, 404media continues to be the best subscription I’ve ever paid for.
