Hello Brad, Another timely post. I just sat through a medical ethics lecture today in which we discussed this exact issue. Its interesting to see this thing coming full-circle. It was a case of the FDA protecting patients from drugs which may have not been tested enough to ensure the absence of most any chance of an unwanted side-effect. Now it seems (and I think appropriately) the FDA is being brought to task with respect to the potential inhumanity of denying certain terminally ill patients a chance to benefit from therapies whose side-effects might certainly be no more intolerable than these patient's already quite desperate situations. I think the AIDS epidemic has created a large pool of patients who are educated enough about their own conditions to want and to deserve some say in what kind of treatments they may be willing to undergo. Perhaps even patients with other diagnoses are also inspired to be more informed. This is something I think will benefit companies like IDEC and agree with you in that we should be seeing more soon. Thanks for posting the press release. I wonder if it had anything to do with IDEC's respectable performance today? Or, perhaps, with what you had related to us on the thread here in your previous post? Hope you are enjoying your evening... BENNETT
