I’m especially cynical when it comes to the “cure all human diseases” part.
You want to manage a disease. Make it tolerable and survivable. That way, you’ve got a ~~patient~~ customer for life, and you can milk them for decades.
Edit: I’m talking from the point of view of an asshole capitalist, folks.
I remember how to spell bananas from Kelly singing “this day is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s”
