Jason Hreha, a writer for BigThink, a digital outlet whose contributors include Edward Norton and Bill Nye, has published a column titled “Suspending the Laws of Biology, and Common Sense, For Health,” in which he says:
“Medications and medical treatments often have side effects that are worse than the ailments they’re designed to treat. For example, Finasteride (also known as Propecia), which aims to reduce hair loss, causes “increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer.” In addition, there have been reports of decreased libido and erectile dysfunction with patients on the drug. While we would all like to have a head of hair to die for, I think that few would be willing to take that phrase literally.”

Please leave comment thanking Jason for his anti-finasteride sentiment, while filling him in on its even worse impact, which is of course PFS.
