For starters, eliminating patent protection for "advances" in that direction will help take the wind out of the sails.

Actually that would probably accelerate the process; therefore I support it.

How do you intend to neutralize the opposition?

Doubtful. This process requires huge investments of research capital. Without the incentive that comes from patent protection (and, if we cut off government research funds for this sort of thing), not many people are going to want to put up the money.

But if you still want to support the idea, I won't get in your way.
