Stopping diseases?

(1/5) > >>

Elevz:
I was watching tv last night and there was a show on with the purpose of collecting money for medicines for HIV infected people and people suffering from aids in Africa. Charity, and we should support that since it's kinda unfair that we over here do get our medicines just because we do have the money for it, while they don't.

Then again, this got me thinking. Has there been a small miscalculation made in the human intelligences? The world 3000 years ago was quite well balanced. Humans didn't have much property and the animals in this world really kept each other in balance. The diseases also played a big part in this, just to make sure everything would stay balanced as it was. But then the humans started their evolution. We first used stones to fight animals. Then we started using spears. Bows and arrows... And then guns. We gained ourselves an unfair advantage. And that's when science started kicking in, and so we got further and further in this, protecting ourselves from the bad bad world outside of us. And then we found ways for protecting ourselves from diseases.

Then again, look at the world as it is now. We're acting as if the whole world and the universe around it, is human property, and it all started with humans just being one step smarter than nature. Maybe we're not because we'll be killing the world this way, but hey. Is this whole evolution wrong, and where did it go wrong? How natural is it that we're trying to protect ourselves from dying? Come to think of it - we're killing rare elephants just to get a little powder from their teeth, for us to create (placebo based?) medicins? Is the life of a healthy rare elephant worth less than the life of a (probably not chronically) diseased human?

Whether you're an atheïst like me or a believer - are humans overly intelligent? Should we even want to protect ourselves from diseases?

Trauma-san:
Are you fucking stupid?

Elevz:
Yes I am stupid. Besides that, I'm not saying I'm supporting this theory - you should try and get medicines for all, but after all, isn't this just a bit "against nature"?

*Jamal*:
Before you get ahead of yourself and talk about stopping diseases, tell us how you've managed to completely stop thinking? How are you able to shut off your brain like that?

Elevz:
I was just thinking about the world as a whole, not just about human society. Humans seem to have taken over the world and I wonder if that's something to be happy about. Once again, I just posted some thoughts - I'm not saying we should stop supplying medicins or whatever.
