I am not a Medico johnno (just a lowly physicist) but if what you are doing works thats fine. It is not the length of life but the quality that is important and the quality can only be defined by the person living it.
Our approach was to look at the fundamental molecular processes of disease with a view of full understanding that would hopefully lead to some better therapies. This takes a long time and a lot of skilled people but in the long run maybe better than just treating symtoms.
We do not have a 'cure' yet. All we can do is get a better understanding that may lead to less damaging therapies.
I only brought this up as there are a lot of fantastic people doing this sort of work in Australia and they need the support (money) to keep this work going.
We can find billions of dollars for weapons to protect us from lots of future imaginary foes, why not defend ourselves from the real enemies ie diseases that are claiming far more lives right now.
Sorry better stop now.
