It also sold the idea to many skilled researchers. Those researchers devoted years of their lives to try to make the technology work. They largely failed. We should not condemn them for trying. They were experts and they thought the idea might have a true relation to reality. No one knew for sure, and there was no way to find out except by trying.
They were aware or problems such as "contamination from skin, tissue . . ." They thought they could work around these problems. There were some examples of blatant fraud in the company. But there was also many technical failures. We should never condemn the latter as unethical. You cannot have progress without failures. >
