"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.

Preparing for the Future: The New England Journal of Medicine begins a series on genomic medicine today that's intended to educate physicians about the advancements in gene research and their applications to medical practice. The first in the series, Genomic Medicine - A Primer, is available today, for free, at their website. I read it last night in my snail-mail issue and highly recommend it. The authors are Alan E. Guttmacher and Francis S. Collins, the deputy-director and director, respectively, of the Human Genome Research Inistitute, the arm of the NIH that’s responsible for the Human Genome Project . The Journal plans to make each segment of the series available for free on-line. posted by Sydney on
