Why are aging billionaires like Steve Jobs, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are not putting millions and millions of dollars into medical research to stop these kind of aging-related diseases? It would seem they have higher incentives for this than the TB / malaria related research Bill funds.
- jat850 16y agoThat seems sort of silly - I would posit instead, why should we care much about which causes any of them value (and their reasons why)? Why shouldn't Mr. Gates be allowed to allocate as much (or as little) of his funds to a cause which a) needs attention, badly and b) benefits a massive number of people in the immediate future, and long term? Some people value the needs and well-being of others equally, or higher, than their own.
