Please avoid making personal attacks like this on HN.

As a mostly libertarian-minded person myself, the height of compassion is to allow dying people to reach out for any hope out there.

Cruelty would be to prevent people from attempting to save their own lives "for their own good"; especially when no alternative cure is being offered by the politicians and bureaucrats making such life-impinging decisions.

Yes, the quacks and charlatans will try to take advantage and they should specifically be combatted. That doesn't mean that people should not be able to make decisions about their own lives.
