A story on last night's NBC Nightly News touched on what of the motivators for participants in medical research that is sometimes not evident: altruism.
The story is about genetic research in Iceland, where most of the nation's population descended from Vikings and many have extensive knowledge of their family ancestry. This means that the people of Iceland offer a potential gold mine of genetic knowledge. Th research is voluntary and many are proud to volunteer for such as effort.
