How much research have you done so far? How committed are you to achieving this?

I ask because your question is worded in such a way to suggest you've just had the idea and want other people to provide some answers. If that is the case then you have a bigger question to answer - if the first thing I do when I've had my grand idea is to want other people to tell me how and what to do, how passionate am I about this? Because you'll need passion to see you through the long road.

I apologize for my noncommittal question. I currently hold a master's degree (that I recently completed) in bioengineering. I am completely committed to making this a reality. I am only unsure of how to move forward in regards to governmental regulations, patent concerns, and if I should further my education in the field or not. What are your thoughts?
