When the Harold Hughes Estate established the Research for medical discoveries without having to submit plans to the NIH... it became the largest organization in the world to support research on anything within reason.. Funding is without having to write a hundred reasons why and for.. They are working on Stem cell research... Courtesy of 60 Minutes. I just paraphrased... Actually he established it originally for a tax break... not so much altruistically.

Reagan was great in saying that it had to come from the private sector. I would hope that more medical research could be funded as the Howard Hughes scientific laboratories are doing. In this way we could avoid Government interference... or dictatorial edicts such as the preclusion of stem cell research... THE FDA and NIH... too government regulatory institutions have control over so much of who can and who can't and what can and what cannot be done... When AIDS was in its inception the FDA was taking forever to approve drugs that were being developed. A lot of people have to go to Mexico to get those drugs. Although they were near death's door.... they were unable to even offer themselves for experimental drugs. So, they had to import them.. Too much bureaucracy be harmful to living things. I am for smaller government... in everything.. and fiscal responsibility. THose were once big Republican values..
