This is what they have been accused of for a long time. But they denied it. If all the masks are coming off then perhaps it is time to remove my own.

Nothing has been cured in about 80 years.. I think polio was the last thing that was truly cured.. I could be wrong maybe something else has been.. HIV will never be cured but it certainly could be.

While this proposition carries tremendous value for patients and society, it could represent a challenge for genome medicine developers looking for sustained cash flow.
So I think this means that any company that offers gene therapy or sells a one-shot-cure would quickly go out of business. No returning customers. My question is why couldnt current business incorporate research into these sorts of genetic cures? That way each genetic breakthrough only bolsters profit for a short time, rather than going out of business entirely afterwards. Or could our taxes support the development of these one-shot-cures?

Implying some one shot gene correction wouldn’t be worth a ton of money even on a one time basis. Also unless people stop being born you wouldn’t lose a stream of new business.

Research doesn't get funding. R&D spending has been declining for a while now. And recently companies have managed to outsource their R&D: Desperate people do all of the hard work on their own and if they hit upon a remotely successful idea, one of the big companies buys them out. Everyone that doesn't have a hit idea goes bankrupt. It's like socialized R&D, privatized profits. It's far more efficient for the bottom line and it's more optimized for those short-term investors only following quarterly reports.

Because the FDA kills those that do. See archived article below. Contacts I have spoken with in this area said he claimed to have a cure for cancer. http://archive.is/WLLA6
