In a perfect world that would be great. But in our society I don't see much medical advancement based on altruism alone.
You realize that there's a lot of grey between predatory capitalism and pure altruism to motivate people, yes?
Yep. I think that we are grey now, don't you? Maybe we'd just like a different shade. I think the currents profit margins in medicine development, application and delivery are out of balance/control. Even in so called "non profits".
I often wonder if the US patient population position/demand of "medical care at any cost" has not contributed to the problem.
