Coupled with the recent leukemia gene therapy, we may be on the verge of curing every disease known to man.

Well, don't forget about antibiotic resistant bacteria, and the tons of mental afflictions that seem to affect everyone, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, things like that. Although this is great news, pleased me to all get out.

EDIT: and heart disease, high chloresterol, obesity, diabetes, there are a lot of diseases and disorders out there that are killing more people than bacteria, viruses, and cancer. Yes, some of them are more preventable than others, but it would still be nice to not have any of them anymore in the world.

Well, artificial hearts seem to be becoming more and more viable, too.

But that's true - especially the various neurological and mental diseases we're getting.

Still, though, it's nice to see we're moving forward, despite the protests of Luddites.
