What is regenerative medicine?
Yeah. So the costs will come down and then I believe in the net really like not, we're not talking like 10 years, we're talking within the next five years because we're very close to this kind of automation and of manufacturing. There's a company in, Silicon Valley that actually just started. And they're doing well. They basically figured out how to automate cell manufacturing using robotics.
And so using that plus bioreactors, which allow you to grow a lot more cells a lot quicker, will significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing these cells. And obviously, if the cost of manufacturing goes down, then the cost of the consumer goes down.
But then there's almost like the, you know, to get rare diamonds, it's hard, but now they make these artificial diamonds. Right. Exactly.
Yeah. And so that's, so that's, that's the first thing. And then the, the, the second thing is. there's economies of scale, which just means as more people do it and there's more demand, then obviously you can lower the pricing as, as there's going to be more people who are willing to do this type of treatment at a lower price point.
And that's one of the things, you know, I'm at, I'm very adamant about making this stuff accessible to the average person. And the only way that's going to happen, as you, as you just said, there has to be early adopters, right? You bought a Mac in 1988 and probably not many people had a Mac back then. So it's like, Uh, but there's going to be early adopters for every technology.
Just like, you know, I was an early adopter of Tesla personally. I bought an electric vehicle before anyone else really did. And I was, I was, and, but now it's becoming much more common. And so I think it's going to be the same thing with this, where it's like, okay, there's going to be the early adopters. There's going to be people who are more into this stuff.
And, and it also, I think the way to think about it is if you have the means to do this stuff, you're kind of, you are paving a better way for a future of people because we're at least our company.
You know, we're investing all of our profits back into R&D and trying to push this field forward and trying to really make a difference in regenerative medicine, you know, as opposed to just trying, you know, as opposed to just kind of using it just for profit for yourself type of thing.
So, and that's why I'm, but the only way to push this bill forward is you have to, at the end of the day, do controlled clinical trials because that's the only way you're going to get insurance companies and regulators to buy into this. And that's the long game.
