Listening to your survey on homeopathy funding, you mention almost (but only almost) accepting using it as plecebo treatment for chemo side-effects. In many ways, I can see the same arguments (in both directions) for the one that is possibly spending money on it at hospisess. If it helps a dying person be more comfortable, that is good, but as you said before, it is still justifying it’s use.
