It seems astonishing that such a small, technical problem in bio-engineering should block such an important advance for so long, but it could be because countries don't invest enough in trying to cure, and because there is no overall effort to bring all researchers together to resolve the remaining issues. <br /><br />When the country really cared about a problem, like developing the atomic bomb, and there was a stubborn technical difficulty no one could solve, like pushing all the radioactive elements together rapidly to create a critical mass, explosives engineers were imported from Britain to solve the problem and the bomb was soon ready. No one is doing that today with the countless promising research leads that pop up all the time, ensuring that they all come together to build up a workable solution. Senator Lieberman once proposed a $150 billion program to move medical scientific research from 'bench to bedside,' and this seems to be what we need, but the vast majority of voters, who are not chronically ill and awaiting cures, will never support such a program.Oscarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915452402029137589noreply@blogger.com
