*<<<<Viagra could have greater social consequences for the human race than any other pill in history - aspirin, penicillin, birth control pill, anti-depressants....have I missed something obvious? Thus I hope Pfizer is careful.>>>>>>

DaiS,
I just don't agree with this. Viagra is a wonderful, easy to use medication that treats (for many but not all) and very significant problem in their lives. But does it really compare in world wide societal importance with birth-control pills that let women (families) truly plan if and when they wanted to have children? Insulin (LLY is one of the biggest sellers) which keeps insulin dependent diabetics alive? Antibiotics, immunizations, antidepressants, anti-psychotics for schizophrenia???? No I really don't think so.
Will it make Pfizer a bundle of $$$$$ - yes it certainly has begun to do that is fine style.
Jim
