Earlier in my life, I parroted, "without big profits, drug companies wouldn't innovate." I said this despite having had a rare cancer; and, knowing a lot of cancer researchers. Sure, they like money. But, it's rarely their principal driver. Belief systems are a helluva drug.
When people make those arguments, it's ideology scoping acceptable solutions not the quality of those solutions with respect to medical innovation and treatment outcomes. And, when they make those arguments, I think of people like you and the rest of the @ChordomaFDN community.

Interesting. I can vouch that the vast vast vast majority of people I meet in industry did not get into it for the money. Sometimes money can corrupt, but not for most. Most of us want to be part of something good and big. There are some who come from the darker camp though.

Yea. Like, that's the element absent in a lot of analyses -- or, at least, crude prescriptions. Which, to me now...is incredible. Like, there are very few scientific endeavors that (can) translate into such an unalloyed good.
