RE: In search for genetic cure for baldness, link to cancer found
for those who rant against research that is acaemic in character, i.e. not tied to some specific need nor purpose, this research is the reason it is so valuable. there is no limit to what other important things might be discovered. this is especially true when dealing with such a complex thing like the human animal. baldnes for some is important but for most people it is trivia and ignored except for the wearing of a hat in the sun
one might also understand that the whole electronics industry now supplying people with all those little gadgits came about because we decided we were going to spend very large amounts of money to do that really silly thing of putting a man on the moon.
