Huntington's, Sickle Cell Anemia, Hemophilia, Type 2 Diabetes... I can't think of any more inspirational work than fighting these diseases. I almost feel like humanity's progress in medicine is accelerating. The collective result is so tangible, observed most starkly as higher life expectancy and massively lower infant mortality. The amount these figures have improved over the decades is astounding.

I'm so proud of our scientists. Smile

Can medicine cure the gene pool of republicanism in any form?

Is that because the possibility of dying prematurely in a nuclear war increased under trump?

Nope, death toll from opiate overdose.

I saw an earlier video recently on Facebook posted by my Trump-loving sister.  So it should be taken with a huge amount of salt.  Certainly the resources involved even if successful would make this billionaire surgery in the US.
