Beike Stem Cell Media Publicity

A friend, Nick, who I met while at Nanshan, gave me a pointer to a recent NPR Article. This makes me think of the various efforts to report on this medical tourism phenomena. I know I've been contacted by journalists from Forbes, Associated Press, the UK. We've also seen publicity from ABC Night Line, an Australian web column, etc.

I applaud these efforts to publicize this phenomena. I hope that the media can present a balanced view of matters. This is all the more imperative given that dissenting views do exist from patients, despite what Beike may say.
