La Fondation Brocher, located near Geneva, is a premier institute studying the ethical implications of medical advancements, akin to Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study. The authors, Dominic Nutt and his friend, wish to engage with it despite lacking PhDs, emphasizing a critical issue: countless lab-tested drugs are abandoned without clear reasons, despite their potential effectiveness. This situation highlights the disconnect between ethical research and the practical pursuit of new medicines, a dilemma that could potentially save countless lives if addressed properly.
We've cased the joint on Google Maps. Between the bars of the security gates, you can see the glittering waters of Lake Geneva, beside which professors and postgraduates stroll about debating what is best for the world's sick.
The problem we've solved is this: every year hundreds (perhaps thousands; nobody knows the real figure) of new, lab-tested drugs are abandoned.
