A sensationalist piece about the what-could-have-been aspects of government policy, concerning a matter of much debate currently. Generally unbalanced, with the bias of the author manifestly present. Additionally, as is often the case when discussing health and medical potentialities, the article is rife with speculation. An interesting read as far as it goes, but the prospective reader should not expect to come away well or even better informed. Particularly, in terms of understanding how complex government policies are decided upon and put in place.
