I get the impression that the U.S. is rapidly being left in the dust...

Here's an interesting article from "Longevity Newsletter"



"The medical industry in countries like India, Malaysia, Vietnam, and so
forth is in many ways more energetic than in the West. It is certainly less
burdened by regulation, and that makes all the difference in the long run.
For so long as it costs less to achieve the same goals, the level of growth
will be greater, and that difference will compound year after year. Heavy
regulation and socialist command and control systems such as those that
shackle medicine in the US will always ensure that a region becomes
backwards and poor in the fullness of time. It will be overtaken by
competing regions, and the bulk of new investment will go elsewhere.

"We can see aspects of this process happening now in the field of stem cell
research. The real action in terms of foundational growth and application
of new science is taking place outside America and Western Europe. Absent
large changes in the tenor and breadth of medical regulation in the US, the
future of your health will be found in Asia, because that will be where the
safe, reliable, low cost therapies exist."
