Lightbulb Nobel Peace Prize for Dean Kamen

I don't know how I came up with this, but I was just thinking that there really is no reason why Dean Kamen shouldn't win a Nobel Peace Prize for his inventions. Well I'm not so sure about the Segway and stuff, but as I heard earlier he is currently working on a robotic prosthesis for amputees. If you didn’t already know he has invented more things than just the Segway or iBot, he also invented the first insulin pump and the AutoSyringe (of which my grandmother uses both because she is diabetic). He is also working on a water purification machine that can obviously purify water but also generates power. He plans on using these for third-world countries. I know that being nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize is not that easy, because the Nobel Prize Commission must actually select you to nominate someone and the people they usually choose are university professors, so if you know any that have connections to someone like that talk to them about this because I truly think that his inventions are truly note worthy. And please leave your outtake on this matter. I maybe more sensitive to this considering my grandmother uses two of his inventions but either way I believe he should still be nominated.
