Optium has a point. Cutting back by even 1/10th of a percent on the military could probably pay the scientists for the development of the drug.. and possibly then some.

I don't have a problem with the scientists getting paid for thier work. But I also don't care for when medicine is turned into a money making scheme by companies, so that only the well off(the ones with less health problems on average) can afford it when they need it.
