I am not aware of any precedent. Irrespective of MS now—and I think I've been very clear on this topic, publicly—I think it would be a dangerous precedent to legislate the type and the object of research that we carry out and that the federal government would be supporting in this country. The federal government—I'm sure you're aware, after a number of very serious issues that arose with the use of some drugs like thalidomide and laetrile, where there were major complications, when trials were not as tightly regulated as they are now—set up some very stringent regulatory mechanisms to ensure that trials carried out on patients are scientifically based and ethically approved.
They have set up principles to do that. That have set up organizations such as ours to do that. I would think it would not be a good idea to bypass the process you've already set up to protect the safety of the population and to start legislating on very specific objects of research. I understand very well, on humane grounds, how tempting this may be.
