I don't think it should be developed. Simple as that. AIDS/HIV, cancer, all of those "incurable" diseases are incurable for a reason, the same as why war can actually be a good thing. It helps control our population. If it wasn't for AIDS, how many people would be living in Africa right now? If it wasn't for cancer, or whatever other diseases/ailments that we can't cure 100 percent of the time, how big would our populations be now? If the air wasn't below acceptable standards in China, how many billions more people would be populatig that area?

Now I know they're horrible diseases, but I don't think we need to advance medicine any more than we are at now. Even now, populations are rapidly increasing. Why let them grow at a faster rate? The diseases we have now are here for a reason, just like there is only enough food to support so many deer, or people for that matter. It prevents us from over-populating and wiping ourselves out.
oh wow
