Comments Policy

Comments are encouraged.

Those comments submitted to this blog will be posted at the sole discretion of the editor. Comments also may be edited for content.

For example, comments cannot include person attacks, promotional material for stem cell clinics, or other inappropriate content.

Commenters are encouraged to use their real names, but anonymous comments are accepted.

If you are a patient, you should think about whether you want to your comment to use your real name, especially if you self-disclose health information in your comment.

Family members should also consider the implications of submitting comments about others such as relatives and especially children. It’s possible in the future that children could find comments that mention them by name and that have information about their health.
