'Great stuff epically the info on ES. The next ten years should be amazing.'

That must be so TopGun. I agree a hundred percent, and am hoping for the best. The next two after that will really get our attention eh. And all this progress amidst fundamentalist concerns that actually served to aid these progressive therapies.


'I guess the major issue is, how unaffordable can society allow medicine to become, regardless of the actual advantages?'

Look on the bright side Robin.. :) -as is typical, wealth is the Guinea Pig that affords a society its beginning momentum in technological price spiraling. A good example is getting our genome mapped. Think i read where it costs about 60k to have done presently, which is down from the 350k it had cost prior -and's projected to cost a thousand dollors in the coming years, and so-on. Innovation is moving so rapidly, with perpetually increasing speed and felxability. -And running nose to nose with an equally expansive competitive market, that cost-effective tech. advance is fast taking on the persona of socialism, but hugely profitable. :) It's win win like never before.

Which is why we can reasonably expect to see a classless society; to any meaningful measure, that eventuates the world? -Its just good business.
