Endorse? You mean, publicly, not on LessWrong, where doing so will get me much more than downvotes, and still have zero chance of making it actually happen? Of course not, but that has nothing to do with whether it’s a good idea.
If it will actually work, and there’s no significant (as in at least the size of malaria being cured faster), and bad, consequences we’re missing, or there are significant bad consequences but they’re balanced out by significant good consequences we’re missing, then yes.

I meant “endorse” in the sense that, unlike the Milgram experiment, there is no authority figure to take responsibility on your behalf.
Do you think it’s a good idea?
