We are all different, and a disease that I might have, if I had Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease, it probably would affect me differently than if one of you had that disease, and if we both had Parkinson's disease, and we took the same medication, but we had different genetic makeup, we probably would have a different result, and it could well be that a drug that worked wonderfully for me was actually ineffective for you, and similarly, it could be that a drug that is harmful for you is safe for me, and, you know, this seems totally obvious, but unfortunately it is not the way that the pharmaceutical industry has been developing drugs because, until now, it hasn't had the tools.
Todos somos diferentes y una enfermedad que yo pueda tener, si tuviese Alzheimer o Parkinson, probablemente me afectaría de forma diferente que a uno de Uds. con la misma enfermedad, y si ambos tuviésemos Parkinson y tomáramos la misma medicación, pero teniendo distintas estructuras genéticas, probablemente obtendríamos resultados diferentes y podría ser que un fármaco que funcionó muy bien en mí no sea efectivo en Uds., del mismo modo que un fármaco que es dañino para Uds. es seguro para mí. Y esto parece obvio pero, desafortunadamente, esta no es la manera en que la industria farmacéutica ha desarrollado fármacos, porque hasta ahora no ha tenido las herramientas adecuadas.
