I wouldn't worry about it Rich. The rest of the world isn't. In fact the
rest of the world is cheering your president & legislature on as it
will allow us to "capture all the IP" & then when you need a
lifesaving treatment, part of the high cost will be going to the UK et al.


Hurrah.

Humanity is not about to falter from this road just coz of the views etc of
some nutty north american humans.

Oddly only a couple of months ago I was having a set of meetings wrt
modeling these sort of treatments for the NHS. Wrt someone inserting your
own cells back into you body.....Is it an operation? Is it a drug? is it a
transplant?
