It feels like that is how it should work doesn't it?
That makes great sense to me. I am sure that with the billions of people on
the planet and new diseases guaranteed to rear their heads regularly that
would be the best thing to do.
Even more the pity they don't. :-(
I just hope you become head of a huge medical corporation Anders. The world
benefit enormously. It would do capitalism's cause a great service.
Best wishes,
