"Male Hormone Therapy Popular but Untested", By GINA KOLATA

"Dr. Hodis of the National Institute on Aging said he was determined to keep looking for a way to design a safe trial and was planning a major conference to discuss the matter."

If it was not clear in what I formerly posted re. the possibility of approaching the "functional multiplexing" problem via an endocrine route, quoted below, it is unthinkable that a 'test-in-production' 'strategy' should be used in any way that impacts Human Life.
If it was not sufficiently-clear, in my prior discussions of the "functional multiplesing" [AoK, Ap9], such matters require long and careful investigation before anything can be said with respect to Medical usefulness.
I was addressing working to develop new understanding, not 'profits'.
