that will truly make a difference.
Preventative healthcare will make a huge difference in the long term. Maybe we will finally be as healthy as Cuba.

Mapping the human brain leads to better treatment for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Epilepsy, mental illness. It will also help the returning soldiers who have had TBIs. What that means for aging baby boomers is that their ageing experience will be better than has been.

Suppose we had information that would help improve the learning tools for Learning Disabilities, Autism, even students who do not have impairments? And many more possibilities.

Do people here understand that CCPI can be undone before it even kicks in?
