It seems like perhaps a major goal here is to extend and improve the lives of people who already have severe disease. I guess a noble goal.

Everybody talks about "curing" AIDS and Cancer. Never about "curing" heart disease. But, boy, they love to "treat" it!

Chew on these numbers from the FAIR Foundation:

Our Government's Bio-Medical Research Allocations
by the National Institutes of Health

Research money allocated per PATIENT for 2009

Heart .................29.00

Cancer...........3830.00

AIDS..............2774.00
