Again...not when it endangers lives, no, it's not.
No, it's not. Sorry to disappoint, but this is not some dramatic Orwellian thing that you seem fired up about painting it as. Being held accountable for pushing medical quackery and fraud is what's being discussed.
Few (at most) here are suggesting that. It's not that simple. I would say that if you stated that as fact and not opinion or anecdotal, and it can be proven that someone followed that advice based on your blog and had a cancer with a high cure rate through evil ol chemo or some other known threatment who subsequently died in short order, yes, you could/should be up on criminal charges. God forbid we hold people accountable.
How is sharing an opinion endangering lives?
She can't physically make anyone follow her advice. The human element is still at play here...the people have to want to follow her advice.
Does the "my body, my choice" slogan only apply to legalized weed and abortion? I suspect if one of those two things were the topic of discussion in this thread, we'd see several people doing a 180 on their position.
If an adult approaches me about the benefits of magnet therapy (which there are none, I realize it's quackery), and I as a consenting adult, decide I want to scrap proven medical science and give it a try, that's between me and the person promoting it, it's nobody else's business.
A month or two back, there was a thread started by a republican criticizing certain methods of birth control based on the risks that they can carry, there were no shortage of people lining up to say "an adult can make whatever choices they'd like, it's their body, it's their risk to take, not yours".
Yet, the same theme doesn't seem to be applied in this scenario.
...but, I guess I should've expected as much from the generation that says that you can sue McDonald's because "it's the restaurant's fault for making people fat"
