Yes, patients should be making all decisions regarding their own health. Am I misreading you? Are you really suggesting they shouldn’t have these options because they might make a bad decision?

This article is about screening which is a public health policy. Policies shouldn't promote things that are not effective.

Anyway, patients can't make all decisions regarding their own health since most drugs need a medical prescription. And doctors won't just do any procedure that you ask them to.
