ť ť How do you prioritize research? Personally, I don't think $1 should be
ť ť spent on AIDS until heart disease and cancer are cured (AIDS being a
ť ť largely behavior-based disease where as cancer and heart disease
ť generally
ť ť being genetic). But that's my opinion. In a free market, research
ť will
ť ť generally be motivated by profitability.

ť Obviously I am not making light of the need to spend money on cancer
ť research... more this guys glib attitude when making reference to even
ť consider treating hairloss as if it is no big deal. Well to a lot of us
ť hair-loss is a slow psychological death and IMO it should not be taken
ť lightly. This may be a bad analogy but what about burn victims? Once they
ť recover and all their vital signs are back to normal, isn't their only
ť issue now of cosmetic concern? Should we then also make light of skin
ť replacement technologies?

I totally agree - hairloss is treated as a imasculating joke by society. But for those that suffer from it, it is disfiguring.
