One of the 'legendary' leaders in 'Ancient' China, the one who's said to have taught the Chinese people 'agriculture' (advancing from a hunter/gatherer society), used 'slaves' (enemy combatants captured in warfares) to test the effectiveness of hundreds of different types of herbs. [Legend has it that he had tasted 365 different kind of 'plants' himself and found 100 that were effective in treating different types of ailment. And he eventually died from eating a poisonous plant. But anthropologists believe it was a story about the transformation of the society after effective ways of making fire and building shelters were invented.]

Functional profiling sounds like a modern, more effective and humane way to test the effectivenss of availalbe chemo agents...

Another analogy might be that Multi-Gene Predictors is used as a main frame computer and Functional profiling is used like a personal, notebook computer...

I need to turn in ...
