If we could all have our IQ's trebled, it would only increase the difference between the most and least intelligent...

Sad story that one is... why did algernon have to die?!
Well, maybe not complete control over one's IQ, but at least something to where we don't have to deal with stupidity... Oh, wait. That's called murder. and that's illegal darn it... |
Okay this is just f*cked up. The cancer medication is in fact real, it's been tested and proven to work. But like someone said before, no company is interested in funding the research for it because they can't make any money of it because the final product will be very cheap to produce. God must sure be proud of us now because we have now officially put the value of money over the value of a human life. CONGRATS HUMANITY!

I know, it sickens me to think that we actually value money over the lives of millions. What a disgusting, dispicable race we are.
|
Well, how disgusting some people are. Well, those involved in medical stuff...
This is jsut insane. Apparently if they don't have a cure that costs thousands, they won't produce it. Ticks me off just thinking about it... (insert angry emoticon here.) |
I agree wholeheartedly, Havoc. Money shouldn't enter into it. When you can save somebody's life, money should NEVER be considered. A life is the most precious thing on the planet, and if you can save it, you should. It sickens me that human greed means the medical profession would rather have bits of paper and metal that, in realiy, are actually worthless, rather than cure a cancer patient.

It's definately disgusting the notion of greed over saving lives. However, in a cold and terrible way it's another form of population control.

Well, that's one point. The other is, big companies will rather stick to stuff they already produce before closing the entire line to make place for a new drug. Researches take time and money and i bet company would probably make sure they're getting it all back. Even it they would support the research, they have to do series of tests to make sure medicine is ready to go to the market. And this takes many, many years. If I recall correct 1 gram of Factor VIII costs about 40,000$. @Havoc We have probably already seen how -humanity- looks like. |

Hm... very interesting indeed. I hope that goes well, and I hope that people are willing to sell whatever cure they make for it.
I'm still upset with those industrial bass- turds... |
