I know I'm sounding like a communist but for the sake of relieving human suffering, couldn't we try to encourage altrusim and just see if it isn't superior to the model we are currently using. As long as profit it the overriding motive for finding superior treatments and even a cure we will remain at the mercy of faulty research methods and bogus results.

Speaking of ranting!!!
