    Everybody wants science to cure cancer, but the moment someone does foundational research they lose their fuckin minds.
    Guys, the alternative is cutting up mice and pigs.

      All I want science to cure is billionaires, we’ll take it from there. Concentrations of wealth that enable making brains grow eyes are a bug, not feature. Ever read “Whitey’s on the Moon”?

        That problem is very much one that’s beyond the domain of scientists. That’s like saying “All I want literature to do is decipher the genetic basis of cancer”. Trust me, if science were able to cure billionaires, it would.
