Conclusion
Jeremy Snyder is Professor of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia, where he has taught since 2007.
"Jeremy Synder's new book is a much needed - and highly engaging -
analysis of the nature and harms associated with the exploitation
of hope. In this era of misinformation, social media marketing,
fearmongering and unproven medical interventions, Exploiting Hope
should be viewed as essential reading for academics, policymakers
and anyone interested in understanding (and addressing) this
phenomenon. Using hard data and a deep understanding of
relevant
literature, Snyder offers unique insights into how we should think
about and define both exploitation and hope." -- Timothy Caulfield,
Canada Research Chair in Health Law & Policy, University of
Alberta
"This book combines a compelling account of the concept of
'exploitation' with insightful analysis of the real-world
challenges that occur when patients try to improve their health
using unproven medical interventions. An important contribution
that should be widely read by members of the bioethics and health
policy communities." -- Aaron Levine, Associate Professor, School
of Public Policy, Georgia Tech
