Why do you assume that lives will be saved by redistributing resources like the ancestor proposed? Once in fifty years it will save lives, certainly. What about the shortage of other manufactured goods the other twenty times a century that you reassign factories to diseases that turn out to be nothing? I think it's a bad idea because it will hurt people, not because I want to save money. EDIT: Removed a political aside.
