This could potentially save millions of women.

Prior to the onset of Pap smear screening in this country cervical cancer was the leading cause of cancer death among American women. Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers thought about cervical cancer the way women today think about breast cancer. Unfortunately, worldwide most women cannot get screened for financial and cultural reasons. So you're right, the greedy capitalists at Merck will do more for women's health than all the Department of Women's Studies combined.
