Peter W. Huber is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, where he specializes in issues related to technology, science, and law. This article was adapted with permission from his most recent book, The Cure in the Code: How 20th Century Law Is Undermining 21st Century Medicine (Basic Books, 2013).

Annotation:

(Describe ALL info. that might be important for your paper. Explain to the reader and/or summarize what might be found in this source)

From the history of drugs to the future of drugs, there have been significant changes to the way pharmacologists develop new drugs. Discovering different strains and how they affect people ensures that differing drugs are created to effectively treat different people. Using iPOP is the most effective way for this. Discovering which illnesses leads to others is pertinent to learn to be able to grow drug development to potentially prevent the growth of a harsher illness. This would be helpful for diseases such as HIV/AIDS. Gene therapy takes modern medicine to its limit.

Potential Quotes:

(Are there any significant quotes you can use or paraphrase from this source?)

15 pts

“We now have in hand the power to control almost any disease caused by our own rogue biochemistry or an infectious microbe.”

“Many disorders can't be cured by one-size-fits-all drugs because down at the molecular level each one is in fact a cluster of different disorders.”

“When we suddenly find ourselves diabetic, they will probably be able to tell us whether a viral infection or some other factor was to blame. When we try a potential cure, we will be able to track and get a first read on its efficacy almost immediately, down at the molecular level.”

“Some respond to metformin [a drug that suppresses glucose production in the liver], some don't. Some respond to anti-inflammatory medicine, some don't."

Assessment:

(Analyze and explain why this source is credible)

15 pts

Because this is accessible through galileo.usg.edu, a credible source for articles, and utilizes many science facts and studies, this source is credible. Likewise, this article describes research and studies that have been conducted.

Reflection:

(How will you potentially use it?)

25 pts

Since the article discusses the sciences behind medicines, how to discover new medicine, and how to effectively transform medicine, I will detail the effects of medicine and how to develop it for the future. Likewise, molecular science will be littered throughout my writing. Using new technology, such as the iPOP, can open the door to cures and cheaper medicine.
