Stem cell tourism is criticized on grounds of consumer fraud, blatant lack of scientific justification, and patient safety. However, the issues are complex because they invoke questions concerning the limits of acceptable medical innovation and medical travel. Here we discuss these issues and articulate conditions under which "unproven" therapies may be offered to patients outside of regular clinical trials.
干细胞旅游因存在消费欺诈、明显缺乏科学依据以及患者安全等问题而受到批评。然而，这些问题很复杂，因为它们引发了关于可接受的医学创新和医疗旅游界限的问题。在此，我们讨论这些问题，并阐明在哪些条件下可以向常规临床试验之外的患者提供“未经证实”的疗法。
