Unfortunately, in today's world, scientific research is driven profit motives far more than they are by any sense of altruism or quest for a cure. There is alot more money to be made by creating sexual enhancement drugs, and much less chance for lawsuits due to fatalities from morning wood.

There are substantially more lawsuits filed annually against cancer and AIDS doctors than doctors who service erectile dysfunction.

Just look at how the pharmaceutical market boomed after the development of Viagra, Cialis, etc. And look at the billions now going into developing a female-specific version of Viagra.

Besides, if they did develop a real cure for cancer, it would kill a $400 BILLION dollar a year industry. Cancer treatment is big business, a golden goose laying hundreds of thousands of eggs for the health care industry every month.
They need people to continuously get sick and die. So it is not in the best interests of the medical business to develop a cure.

But the company that can produce a pill to guarantee a mans erection or a womans orgasm has created a cash cow with no real downsides. Viagra and Cialis both cost over $10 a pill via prescription, yielding a profit margin of almost 10,000% (thats Ten Thousand Percent) per pill once the research costs were recovered.

It's all about the bottom line and satisfying the stockholders. The corporate suits in their fancy boardrooms don't care about the common people, just themselves and their wallets.

tend to stick within their area of expertise. -e

some people do what they do, not for the money involved, but for the passion they have for the task, the effort, the desired result, the unanswered question, for the answer itself.
