I was struck by Dr. Harrison's work on cystic fibrosis, CF, and his references to the progress that had been made over the past ten years or so in the treatment of CF patients. Is it fair to say that we have evolved and come a long way in terms of licensing and producing new drugs and modified treatments for human health but we are probably light years behind in terms of licensing the same for food production?
