Ethical, yes. Moral, maybe depends on whether or not they bury the stories when then ADR fails to succeed 100%. If Steve doesn't get all the marketeers want him to get, if they still mention his story or at least allude to those that weren't 100% successes, then you're just seeing the logical extension of advertising. I would ask him to be careful to disclose this when/if he posts on ADRsupport or any other website. Laura also pointed out that the exchange does place him in a bad position when it comes time for follow-up, choosing the best surgeon, repair of bad placements, subsidence, etc.
