As many as possible, with international cooperation so that there is diversity. I'm not the best to know how to prioritize them because all have their benefits.

As many as possible, with international cooperation so that there is diversity. I'm not the best to know how to prioritize them because all have their benefits. I'm guessing there are different folks working on different aspects, and I hope this stuff continues.
I think the proper thing to do with things such as viagra would be to move them over to the proper research team once they become specialized: Viagra would be moved either to a men's health specialist or a sexual health specialist. Viagra can be commercialized, sure, but it can also make a huge difference in mental health - possibly for more than one person. And I do think we should sell them for recreational use as well, if there is that sort of use and use the profits to reinvest or let those be big pharma profits. Possibly in heart health, since lots of folks need that sort of thing.
Contrary to what my post says, I don't mind big pharma in itself. Sure, there are issues, but I don't mind them making profit. I just wish we'd do more - including making sure you don't have unaffordable premiums and deductibles just to live (as in my view, life is a human right if we can prevent the death).
