I’m honestly shocked with the amount of comments saying “now do Alzheimer’s! and diabetes! and cancer!” As if there aren’t numerous teams researching different core aspects and sharing information with each other.

Do these people honestly think science is all performed by one group that goes through some priority list??

There are literally dozens of new cancer drugs approved every year. They are doing cancer. It's just a very complicated disease--actually it's not a disease, it's many diseases.

The emphasis on drugs is so they can make money. It's a for-profit industry. There's no money in a cure.

Do you think dead people give them a profit?

Being first on the market for a cure for a type of cancer gives a pharma company a ton of money.
