Why should we support medical charities?
Soon the calls will start pouring in from one medical charity or another trying to pull at our heartstrings in the season of giving. And while I have nothing against those that form support groups for the afflicted and their families, I do have a major issue with those that support "the cure". In other words, finance research to find a cure. Let me use the example of HIV/AIDS research as an example.
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised to find a cure for HIV/AIDS. Thousands of researchers are working tirelessly, from every angle possible, to accomplish this goal. Say tomorrow we wake up to a research house that has found a promissing solution. What happens next? The research is bought by a Big Pharma at a handsome profit. The Big Pharma commercializes with patent protection at a major profit. Do you see the issue?
Huge profits from my Charity! Last time I checked, Big Pharma were not exactly a charitable institution. Why should my charity go to make Big Pharma rich?

we would desire to constantly help medical charities through fact the common analyze they sponsor will convey approximately remedies and treatments for a lot of human beings, extremely than attempting to handle one guy or woman at a time. there are a number of disparities in our u . s . a ., regrettably. I even have each and every so often questioned what if in simple terms taking mega doses of supplements could avert maximum cancers or another degenerative ailments? i for my section resent the promotion merchandising the medicine on television. i think of it is very some money wasted, Now that the NIH analyze funds is being decrease, and the uncertainties for great Pharma in bringing new drugs to industry, the want for charity subsidized common analyze money is genuine.
