    Ima use when they finally figure it out, the cure will only be available to the wealthy. Because someone has to pay for 40+ years of research.

      Mayhaps, it was invented in 90s in South america. Notice the first person successfully treated was a child, not a famous person. It’s all patented for the public, so it will be hard to gatekeep. The real problem is that the treatment currently requires a small army of lab technicians and a ton of manual labor. That’s the real obstacle. It’s labor intensive and advancements are on the automation and streamlining of the treatment. Unfortunately it will never be truly cheap. But at least the technology is open and freely available to use for anyone.
