I agree Jim. He deserved it after having worked on cancer remedies, remedies that he himself used as a cancer patient. Despie the mix up in timing, I do not see why candidates cannot receive the prize posthumously. I am related to Linus Pauling who won two Nobel Prizes-one for Chemistry and the other was the Nobel Peace Prize. He, however, was alive as he received his awards. I agree with you, Jim, that it was a good thing that Steinman's award was upheld.
I am very pleased that the Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to Dr. Ralph Steinman will be upheld.
