Not to mention that only one can we really combat or care to fight against. They can up with a vaccine for swine flu so that makes it a possible success story. AIDS is another one like cancer where they just look dumb because they seemingly can't beat it like cancer etc. And think of all those profits that would go down the drain if they came up with a cure.
Genocide is the ultimate bad news story because we know it goes on. We decide whether those humans are worth saving by the color of their skin, religion, economic value etc. We calculate the cost, risk of saving them and then no doubt decide to let them get butchered.
