Crowd-funding campaigns which help people with cancer pay for ineffective alternative treatments are becoming more common. They often come with six-figure targets to 41 the cost of debatable therapies. As a result, headlines are almost guaranteed.
The BMJ (British Medical Journal) expresses 42 over this, based on information I gathered working for the charity Good Thinking. By sorting fundraising sites like JustGiving and GoFundMe, I identified appeals(申诉) from people in the UK who _ 43_ money for these unproven treatments, finding 400 in the past three years. Those have raised ￡7 million, the amount only illegal clinics will normally charge.
Although the treatments, such as extreme diets, aren't backed by scientific evidence, people who are desperate and vulnerable(弱势的) are often 44 by remarkable testimonials (用户 感言) provided by the clinics themselves. For those who see such stories in the media, and who care about following good scientific evidence and morality, the natural reaction is to try to prevent people from possible physical, emotional and 45 harm.
46 these appeals isn't easy. People with cancer often view these therapies as 47, and their supporters don't want to consider that their efforts to help may cause harm.
However, journalists must review the role they play in promoting the appeals. Their 48 is powerful. As I sorted through appeals and the heartbreaking stories or desperately ill people, I was 49 by just how many cited success stories they had read in newspaper as their reason for trusting questionable treatments.
Most concerning of all were the frequent cases where someone had died-sometimes just months after eye-catching coverage of their treatment. While the uplifting news story of a community helping 50 someone's “cure" is attractive, the subsequent reality when that hope proves fruitless seems far less 51.
This leaves the public with a(n) 52 view of the effectiveness of such treatments, and serves as an advertising tool for clinics which, under UK law, wouldn't be able to directly 53 their therapies.
If journalists wish to avoid promoting ineffective treatments, they would do well to view such stories not just as human-interest ones, but as 54 and health stories. This means 55 the evidence behind treatments, seeking expert opinion on their effectiveness, and choosing not to run stories that fail such a careful examination.
