Wouldn’t 21 million dollars buy a remarkable breakthrough in treatment for the disease?
21 million, 121 million,221 million?
21 million, I agree, is a good start, but an assured breakthrough? I doubt it.
How can you put a known monetary level on breakthroughs?
That's not the way medical research works. Money helps enormously, of course, but you just can't throw infinite amounts of money at it and expect there will then be a breakthrough within a finite period of time.
