Dr. Mejia-
I agree that younger patients (myself included) should be aware of the progressive nature of MPB before going forward with their HT. However, one thing young patients do have on their side is technology. I will say a patient should not solely rely on this to solve their future hair-loss quandries. Although, IMO, its a forgone conclusion further improved surgical technology, improved medication as well as hair cloning will be available within atleast the next 20 years. Heck, if they can clone goats, chimps, etc they can clone hair follicles. It's not a matter of if they can but when. The high demand for this will inspire someone to start a company providing this service. From what i've read, it's already in it's initial stage of development. Surely it will go through some trial and error and likely need some refinement, but its clearly on the horizon.
