A few people asked why I thought the trials wouldn't begin until
2008; my reasoning is simple: the human trials cannot begin until
the blood assay is completed, and Dr. Faustman reported that it would
take 18 months to complete the assay. Based on the reported starting
date, I estimate the assay will be complete around October 2007.
