Open Source Drug Discovery Prompts a Fundamental Heart Failure Breakthrough
An anonymous reader writes "Case-Western researchers, led by Saptarsi Haldar MD., have made a fundamental discovery that could prevent heart failure after reviewing the "chemical recipe" for a cancer-treating molecule made open source by Jay Bradner MD. (whose TED Talk articulates the open source approach to drug discovery) This cross-discipline discovery, which was published in the August 2013 issue of CELL, is a fundamental breakthrough in heart failure research, and highlights the value of an open source approach outside of software development."
What's this?! Everyone jumping on the Socialist-Commie-Pinko Open movement?!?
WTF!
Before you know it, IP with be severely weakened and all of us will have increased standard of living - except for the poor poor billionaires!
Won't someone think of the billionaires?!
Without the billionaires lording over us, what will inspire us?
We need IP to keep up the carriers to entry! We need to impede progress in order to preserve the billionaires! Our way of life will be destroyed!
Dilhole... Humans are omnivores - we can eat anything. Well not as much anything as say goats (who will eat tin cans), but pretty much anything.
