SCIENTIST FINDING CURES
For decades and decades, people have been trying to find out how to cure cancer, how to remedy diabetes, how to feed the poor, clothe the homeless, and to cure the HIV virus and AIDS. Eventually, scientists and doctors just might learn how to do all that, though economists might disagree. A healthy economy actually has a slight percentage of people who are unemployed. But that’s not the topic at hand. Years ago, people who got cancer were almost certainly fated to die. Then AIDS came along and no one knew how to cope with that or where it came from. Diabetes, while never seen as a life-threatening complication like cancer or AIDS, still posed a great many problems for people diagnosed with it. Nowadays, neither cancer nor AIDS are death sentences. Chemotherapy and other forms of treatment have made it possible for cancer to go into remissions. Medicine and the proper research has also made it possible for people with diabetes and AIDS to go living full and healthy lives so long as they are careful. That’s the point of science and medicine. They make life more livable. Knowledge accumulates and eventually we get results from our experiments or we come to understand something better.
