Insulin cant be cheap? It can if we start making it ourselves. Theres a neighborhood initiative around curing diseases without the usual medicine approach and its happening in our backyard.

It takes direct intervention and support. These folks deal more than just with personal goals – medical standards go into play. Molecular biology can be difficult. Also, manufacturing a medicine like insulin comes with fears of not keeping the standards. Many leaders of Open Insulin are unafraid of diving deep into technical issues. Even though they are part of the project, they need to consider how the roll of industry professionals and scientific laboratories affect their everyday life. Trust is a limiting resource- Open Insulin comes up against these limits while finding filling gaps in today's healthcare system. These challenges open up to socio-economic story.
