"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Shameless Promotion: Here's a report of a miracle drug that makes the blind see. The drug is only available experimentally and hasn't been used yet in that many people, but this article is a paen to it. Only the success stories are covered. Nothing is mentioned of side effects or of what percentage of patients treated respond so favorably. The studies are in too early a stage to determine those vital statistics. Only time will tell if it's really such a miracle cure. This story had to be put out by the Genentech's PR department. posted by Sydney on
