Do you think that now that we know the drugs made by the body with our own DNA we also know how are each of them used? How are each activated? How are the propser dose determined? Whatever happened to the idea of drugs designed by the personal DNA? Did I miss their arrival? I have seen nothing about Personal Drugs (PD) designed from the DNA. Perhaps the most important use of DNA is to identify criminals and something else, I forgot! So, should we abandon the promises of DNA and the Gnome Project in deciphering the biological Rossetta Stone? Is the Stem Cell, the "Soup of the Day!" Are we done with DNA? Have you thought how will the new Stem Cell drugs tested? What if NOTHING happens, but the patient dies exactly 8 years and 2.5 months later. Do you think anybody will notice? Remember, medical doctors of similar training did Medical Experiments in Nazi Germany and Lobotomies in the USA, before them. Lobotomies are now illegal in all the USA and all the Nations in the world. Not True! Some states and some nations still practice Lobotomies. The new treatment is "Radio Waves" but, if I told you what it is, you would not believe it and will think I am crazy, don't worry, if our roles were reversed, I would think the same of you.
