Default Potential cure for baldness?

Cancer drug shows surprising side effect- it wakes up hair follicles:

I put this in the Political section because, out of curiosity, I looked up JAK inhibitors (the drug) and sure enough, research on them began in donated fetal tissue.

If drug companies do decide to test this drug on male-pattern baldness, I wonder how many of the follicle-challenged right-wing politicians and pundits who scream about fetal tissue donation will refuse to use the drug in protest.

Oh, who am I kidding? They'll all be first in line to demand it.
