Comment on If we cured all forms of cancer with the ease of taking a pill, what would be the next thing medicine would put the biggest focus on?

  I hope neurodevelopmental disorders would also get more attention. Although less people suffer from it than from aging-related disorders, when a child is born with a severe disease it affects not only the child’s life, but also that of parents and siblings. (I don’t mean neurodivergence, I mean severe disorders that prevent a child from being able to walk, communicate, and/or live in health).

  In comparison with aging-disorders, so many good years of life are lost.

  Damn, imagine if politicians found the cure to aging. That’s the only thing that gets rid of them now.

    Alternatively they would at least have a vested interest in not having the planet turn into a fireball.
