Why does medical science ignore evolution?

[Woodznutz]

If we evolved ourselves into today's diseases, we can evolve ourselves out of them by changing our environment. So why doesn't medical science address this?

It does.

It may pay lip service but little else. Medical science is fully invested in profiting for our diseases.

Well, the pictures I posted pertain directly to polydactyly, which will soon be detectable and curable in the womb.

Sure, they have to stay in business. Everyone does.

The car industry is fully invested in profiting off our need to go place and move goods.

An ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure. However, there's little benefit for doctors in prevention.

You should avoid them then, and their snake oils and peddled potions.

Apples and oranges. The auto industry doesn't create an individual need for one of their products. Also, thanks to regulation and the free-market vehicles are more trustworthy than ever. The healthcare industry has a captive market, the auto industry doesn't. Also, we can control the price of our vehicles by buying used. I just bought a used car for $7000. It will last me forever (figuratively speaking of course).

I have mostly avoided them, but their services are still necessary, due to the frail condition of mankind. Doctors should have protested the student loan program as it would unhealthily idle millions of youths, depriving them of needed exercise and work experience in the summer months. Instead, they saw a huge payday coming their way.

Doctors don't either. You cray cray bro.

Not a Tesla. But its irrelevant to the discussion.

The healthcare industry has a captive market, the auto industry doesn't.

This is true, and why medical insurance based on employment is idiotic.

Also, we can control the price of our vehicles by buying used. I just bought a used car for $7000. It will last me forever (figuratively speaking of course).

Thats great. As noted, you should stay away from those evil doctors and their pills and machines.

Sorry but evolution, even selective breeding, takes many generations. For humans a generation is measured in decades, for a bacterium it is measured in hours. A race we will never win.

You can bet they have. They are working on it. And I'm sure doctors/scientists who study this can give you good answers.

Why are dot head Indians so good at Chess?

Science has been taken over by Left wing lunatics that insist men can be women and women can be men, not that anyone really knows what a woman is cuz men can have babies also.



RIP Science.

To paraphrase Frank Zappa, science isn't dead it just smells funny.

They get funnier every day it seems.

Everyone needs a sense of humor.

No, the science is deadly serious.

Like evolution, it doesn't always move in a straight line.

Here's another Hox gene variant for you.

This one is being heavily researched because snakes are supposed to be bilaterian.

How much do you want to bet there's another set of genes for lateralization?

These are natural mutations, they weren't caused by CRISPR.

Because what you describe is death and suffering. Precisely what medical science aims to ameliorate.

What a freakish post. What a bizarre alternate universe you live in.
