@Quinete:
They (drug companies) know what they are doing. They do not do this naively. It's all premeditated.
They know the average ALS patient (PALS) lifetime is very short and they also know that some PALS would cling onto something to extend their lives by 2, 3, 4, 5 or whatever number of months they are told this drug would do so.
They are trying to squeeze the last penny out of the PALS pockets even if this implies to raise the drug cost when the patent is about to expire. That's the sad truth.
