If you could cure all diseases would you?

Do you consider aging a disease? If so what point would you choose to extend life to if there was a way to slow aging? Would you choose to extend it indefinately and have a death ward of some fashion where people went when they got tired of living?

 
Its impossible to cure ALL disease. We can cure one disease, and another will come along. HIV hasn't really been around until the 80's. Hence why there is nothing wrong with finding cures to currently deadly diseases. We will never have a disease-free society, but we can try to stay a step ahead.

Do you know what a "hypothetical situation" is?

It is currently impossible. I didn't say anything about HIV in this thread. Curing HIV would be a giant leap in making one portion of the impossible possible.

Yep, the knowledge of how to defeat that kind of virus would be huge, but something else more advanced would develop. What about bacteria that are immune to antibiotics? Another even more advanced virus? What about when a genetically engineered/bio warfare agent gets released to the public? Technology can help and hurt us.
 
Aging, no, people pass and go naturally, leave that alone, you won't be young forever.
Curing all viruses, certainly.

The only thing that gets me hotter than watching others suffer, is watching others watching others suffer.

eh, wasn't the H.I.V. discovered in the mid 70's, and I'd be willing to bet it's been around a lot longer. How many people before that died of "natural causes"?

Well I'm sure it was around before then, thats just when it started being a big thing. Thats still a damn recent disease....how long have people been getting the flu? How old is smallpox?
 
I would sell the cure for $100 per disease to each afflicted individual. That's a pretty good deal if you ask me.
