Insulin from plants - who cares

I know this story has been on the wires for the last few days, how a company called SemBiosys has been able to produce (human recombinant) insulin from safflowers.

Then I see tonight that even Business Week is excited about the development. Look at what it might do to their stock price.

Think about the increased demand for insulin, because if you believe the numbers quoted by SemBiosys that demand will more than double in the next five years.

I think what everyone in marketplace may be overlooking is that
Insulin is not a cure.

I think that as long as the 'market' continues to get excited about these developments, it's not thinking about how to get rid of this terrible disease.

I don't want more insulin, or cheaper insulin, or purer insulin. I don't want insulin.

Insulin is not a cure

What I want is a cure.
