well I am in favor of funding for breast cancer research so I hope they don't do that cause too much damage along the way. But their behavior on the issue so far *was* a problem and needed to be addressed. That said, breast cancer is common, and also well understood, which means there are a lot of survivors. Those survivors and their families are going to want to donate, if only out of sheer self-interest. It's a popular cause. Arguably a shakeup at Komen is the best thing that could happen to advance it. They've done quite a bit of good but considering how they have worn the issue out they could, in my opinion, have done a lot more.
