Agreed. I think it will be difficult for Americans to afford the treatments though, since they will be likely priced in either euros or yen. Bush, on advice from Kass and the others, will enact policy making it difficult to do such research in the US. And if he continues with the economic policies of the past 4 years, we'll be looking at an extremely unfavorable exchange rate with the new First World's currencies.
