There is no free lunch outside biology either. The problems that come with stronger immune systems may be more tractable or at least less unpleasant than cancer. Also, you seem to be very pessimistic. Many interventions in the history of medicine, like washing hands or the first vaccine against smallpox, were almost "magical" in their efficiency: they addressed a lot of problems through a relatively trivial intervention. It is likely that a lot of this low-hanging fruit has been picked up, but you insinuate that there isn't any low-hanging fruit to begin with, only an endless slog of attacking hard problems. That is way too negative. |
