VLAD <<I expect a significant number of older men with cardiac disease or high blood pressure who take Viagra to enhance sexual performance will die while copulating>> VLAD: Are you related to VLAD the Impaler? Let me see if I understand your post. You are hoping that people die in order to improve your VVUS investment. Do you have any evidence that the likelihood of death during sexual activity is different for men on MUSE, Viagra or placebo? Good investing and good health! BigKNY3 PS TA come back, all is forgiven!

VLAD, I think any kind demise of Viagra will have a negative impact on MUSE sales. We need Viagra to get people off the couch and into the Doctor's office. I think we definitely should hope that Viagra is not all that it's been hyped up to be, however, we certainly don't want people to be afraid to try Viagra. MUSE doesn't have the pull to expand the market the way an effective (hopefully not too effective) oral does. I also think that everyone realizes this. It's all we've been talking about, including Leland. So I don't think a Viagra downfall will create a VVUS short squeeze. Gary
