i agree with tara that you can't say it's the fda's fault. that's not the case.question is and i certainly think that you can't, you can't go forward without safety trials, the question is does fda change its practices to some degree in recognizing what is a mortal threat to people. this disease has very high mortality rates and you have seen the what i call the pendulum at fda shift sometimes when it comes to facing deadly diseases, so, for example, in late '80s, early '90s, when you had the hiv aids situation, there were a lot of protesters yelling at fda, saying that fda needs to loosen up some of the rules on trials in order to allow people who have or facing a death sentence to try therapeutics that they might ordinarily not try if they were facing a life or death situation, so the pendulum does shift. you saw it shift a little bit in that period and you actually saw in the mid '90s, the highest number of new approvals in fda. i think those are not unrelated, so this might lead to some of those kinds of shifts within fda b about how to approach these things.
