It will be interesting to see how long it takes to cure this disease given the incentive of pharmacy companies making money on drugs.
- lopmotr 9y agoI don't think that's really an obstacle. New biotech companies form all the time to try and bring new tech to market. They get zero money from any existing drugs.
- DigitalSea 9y agoI think maybe 15-20 years ago this might have been a valid concern, but technology has allowed the advancement and creation of biomedicine. Make no mistake, even if they find a cure for specific types of cancer, pharmaceutical companies branching out into biomedicine will still make money from cancer and other diseases. Editing genes are one thing, but it's going to take a long time before cancer is ever completely eradicated. What an exciting time to be alive.
