"Insulin does not belong to me; it belongs to the world." Frederick Banting ( The creator of insulin)

Frederick Banting was awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of insulin and never meant it to be used for profit. What a pity to see the unbelievable greed and profit that is happening in today's world. What is even more disturbing is no one in charge seems to care.
