preceding unsigned comment added by talk contribs the reason why we quote the ama in the lead is to be able to give an overview of what medical organisations as a general rule say and the ama seems to be the best available source for that even though it's not perfect in contrast if we were to discuss the policy of the ama the reader wouldn't have any information at all about other policies also it might come across as rather us centric in principle i guess i'd be willing to go along with it but i'd have some reluctance and would find it difficult to defend if anyone were to challenge it in future including the words stated in seems an awful lot simpler
