Abstract
With the ever rapid development of scientific and technological research in the 19th century, the power growth of scientific institutions and their specific influence have expanded incredibly due to the results they have achieved in several research areas.
This article is the result of a mutual collaboration between the two authors due to a grant obtained from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. The primary result of this grant, the DePGx Project, consists in a deliberative experiment that has taken place at Montreal, Canada in between the end of May and the beginning of June 2010.
