Published today: Why It Is Wrong to Promote Alpha‐Gal Syndrome: A Response to Crutchfield and Hereth

To the provocatively brilliant super villain article "Beneficial Bloodsucking" by Crutchfield & Hereth, published in the journal Bioethics in 2025, we somehow managed to get a lengthy response published. It is titled "Why It Is Wrong to Promote Alpha-Gal Syndrome: A Response to Crutchfield and Hereth", also published in Bioethics.

Unfortunately, we were not able to have it published open access - but ask and ye shall be given.
