It seems like cancer is the biggest thing we all think of when it comes to medicine and what we’d most like to eradicate from our species. So my question is phrased this way out of curiosity what the second worst thing medicine is currently trying to eradicate.

    Came here to say that. Cell rejuvenation more specifically. Telomeres and such seemed all the rage 20 years ago, haven’t heard much about it since. I wonder what the newer approaches are.

      My wife used to work on that kind of research. Interesting stuff. She left that job to research cancer instead.
