Completely agreeThis is a multibillion-dollar need. I don't buy most of the foil-hat stuff related to not finding a cure. The problem of cloning the cells is maddeningly complex, compounded by the fact that quite a few things about how balding works are not well understood. For example, if you're bald, look at your scalp, and you'll see that basically every pore has a small, whitish hair coming out, like fuzz. So your scalp is still producing hair, just not the "good," long, strong, colored kind. The reason why this happens is not well understood.
Like autonomous drone research, it's pretty obvious that this is going to be an absolute cash volcano for early big players in the field, but it's not going to be a volcano that erupts for high-school educated fastlaners working alone in their basement in the evenings, like might be possible with, say, self publishing or Amazon sales. This is a need that's going to be solved by someone with a multimillion dollar lab, 6-7 figure research grants, and a small brain trust worth of PhD's and MD's at their disposal.
