I saw on the health channel last night that there is a mutated gene from, scientists think, the survivors of the bubonic plague that prevents the people who have it from getting sick from most viruses. One man who has the gene, which has been isolated, did not get HIV even though a batch of blood he received was infected. Scientists are trying to learn from this to prevent epidemics. What I wonder is, what will happen if we cure everything or have a shot for everything. How are we going to have a life if there are too many people to feed, house, etc; when populations explode from all the advances in medicine and natures was of purging itself is taken away. What do you think? I think we won't die from disease- we'll die from starvation and friction between the masses.
