Agree with what you say, osprey. In Europe, medicine is practiced much differently, the theory being different I suppose. Personally, I look to gene therapy as replacing big pharma in this century. Unfortunately, probably too late to do ME personally much good. Here in California we have the issue of stem-cell research on the ballot in the next election. I expect it to pass, but a very Catholic friend of mine is anti, so it may fall out along religious lines, and having a lot of immigrants from Mexico here, who are Catholic, it may not pass. We'll see.
