I have a question...Should medicine stop evolving? Is this the cause of overpopulation on our beloved Earth? In past times people used to die more often beacose of some sickness that now has a cure...Isn't it nomal for people to die from diseases as well? We try to be immortal...we overpopulate ..earth responds with raging weather caused only by our "expansion", but soon earth will not manage to keep the balance of population ...beacose we keep finding "cures"...

Why should we stop thinking? We are given wisdom to use for our benefits. And one of these is for us to discover medicines to cure us. By having medicine, we are not trying to be immortal. I don't believe that there is overpopulation but the problem is people tend to stay in one place. Look at the world, there are still so many places that are not populated and nobody takes care of whatever is there to be taken care of.

Well, I hope some day to be able to ask you that question..when maybe you need a bypass or a transplant or some new medication.
No, we should find ways to live and use less of the earth's resources or maybe find a more efficient use of the earth's resources. This has to be better then saying whoops...you can't live because the earth is over crowded and we are no longer treating your ailment.
