Once you have FREE energy, we dont need to pay our 3/gallon and we can use that money to find cure for disease..

think about it.. which is easier to solve.. energy or disease..

its just that all the oil tycoon won't let it happen cuz they'll be poor

Consider that two of the three diseases you posted in the other option are 100% preventable, I'll take RT superconductors. A cure for cancer would be nice though...

R

A cure for 2 of the 3 in A will keep more of us around to solve whatever problems there are in developing B so I go for A.

it's interesting that you'd lump herpes with AIDS and cancer.. it's nowhere near the severity of the others... did you forget about malaria, ebola, or any of the other .......a's ?

i don't like people so i vote B. and i think it would solve a massive amount of problems and probably help with A.

I voted for superconductors, more potential benefits. The STDs can be combated very effectively with abstinence, protection, and healthy living.

Science improves our way of life. A cure will simply give us more problems in the long run without the technology to find cures for other ailments.
