Here are some reports from both NPR and Wired that as pharmaceutical companies are trying to cure more and more intricate diseases, they are finding that people taking placebos have just as good - if not better - responses than the folks on the actual drugs.
Seems to be they ought to just get back to trying to help cure cancer or AIDS and leave the curing old-guys-with-limp-penises issues to future generations.
Then again, I see them as profit-grabbing shills instead of folks serious about doing the common good so I'm obviously jaded.
