Exactly. Why should we be subsidizing medical research for Canada, France, Germany, et al?

I don't agree with you on this point simply because the chances of success in scientific investigations are greatly enhanced when more investigators are involved.

That's why scientists share their info/data and discoveries with other scientists worldwide by publishing them in journals so as to preclude anyone from wasting his/her time by re-inventing the wheel, so to speak. Also, the investigations of any research group might provide useful insights and leads to other groups and this, more often than not, spells success!

Needless to say, scientific investigation should ever be an ongoing co-operative endeavour in order to produce results, more often than not. BTW, Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) Renaissance author, courtier, and father of deductive reasoning, wrote about this fact nearly 400 years ago!
