So cure (?) a problem for a handful of rich Westerners is The Most Important medical problem in the world right now? Seems to me you're overlooking other, far more significant (in terms of total numbers) suffering.

The people thinking what you're thinking must be very young or have some strange sociopathy.

Humans are allowed to work on more than one problem at a time.

Are you suggesting that everyone in the world concentrate on one problem at a time?

Who said this was the most important problem anyway?

Are you, personally, working on solving a particularly important problem?

Most people in the world aren't solving problems anyway, other than getting money from other people's wallets into their own.

>>chiefa+(OP)
Choosing this place to make a line on medical funding or even just societal preferences seems pretty absurd. The economy does not work in absolutes nor with firm regard to societal well being or even marginal valuation. There are so many other worthy critiques to make before getting to the granularity of reproduction.

Not at all. If I'm supposing anything is that the word priorities is a word most people don't know but should.
