However in the big picture of humanity I wish things like this really and truly were given a back seat. Viagra for instance has made more money and will continue to make more money than any drug developed for, certain forms of cancer, AIDS, heart disease, MS, and multitudes of other terrible illnesses and conditions. To take resources away from these causes so people like you don't have to wear a condom or depend on a woman taking birth control would be a travesty.

There is more than enough money in the Pharmaceutical industry that if they wanted to, they could spend a bundle more on cancer and AIDs. The miniscule amount of money they would need to simply develop this drug is nothing compared to how much money is involved in AIDS and cancer research.
I agree though, I would not support the development of any drug if it honeslty and truly took away resources from development of treatments and cures for diseases that are debilitating or life-threatening.
