Exactly, which was my point to the original parent. =) Biology is slow, so effective and scientifically accurate trials are slow. These slow trials are required because of regulations for health and safety reasons, which means time to market is slow for drugs. Which means complaining about the 25 year time to market (the original parent's comment) is really the same as complaining about regulations. Drop the regulations and companies are no longer required to do scientifically accurate/responsible studies, which means faster to-market times (and less safe drugs).
