We know that men
and women are very different, but this becomes extremely clear when we look at
diseases or the differences in the way certain drugs work in men and
women. This is why it's so important that men and women continue to be
studied independently. In the past, men were almost exclusively studied
and women were treated based on the information acquired from studying
men. But it did not take long to realize that problems like heart attack
had very different symptoms in men and women and also treatments were not
cookie-cutter. As funds were reduced to conduct important studies, it is
important to study both sexes and gather important independent information.
