> roverI don't know, Rover. I've been waiting, too. I independently thought of using gene therapy as an alternative to treat affective disorders in 1992. At the time, the concept was revolutionary, although abstract. There were no known targets or vectors at the time. My doctors at the NIH thought the idea was pretty innovative, but far from being realized. I guess things are further along than I realized.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
