- noir_lord 13y agoI suspect first we'll have something that looks more like Elysium and then something that looks more like Star Trek. I doubt we'll ever have either extreme (and different parts of the world will likely have different bits at different times). Certainly going to be an interesting 100 years (but when has that ever not been true..).
- crusso 13y agoFor years we've heard the charge that pharmaceutical companies are little more than parasites creating perpetual users of their drugs rather than curing anything. It's worth noting that this drug company is curing something significant and the fact that they're trying to make a go of a business out of it is a bad thing?
