It’s tricky for both sides to go for a pure capitalist point of view:
- human cancer might never be solved if strong business entities were to rely on the prevalence of cancer
- death of cats might have secundary, tertiary effects that are not clear enough to push businesses to enter the market. We would be looking at the negative impacts without ever realizing what the cause is.
- anchpop 5y ago> Human cancer might never be solved if strong business entities were to rely on the prevalence of cancer Given the amount of money someone with a patent on a cancer treatment or cure would make, it's hard for me to imagine that
- makeitdouble 5y agoYou are referring to a technical solution, but the patented miracle cure could be limited to 1% of the patients and never make it to the rest, if for whatever reason it didn't make economical sense to do so. It's a bit of goal pushing, but I wouldn't call that "solving" cancer.
