Where I grew up they thought it was cool to release some radioactive material from Hanford to see what it did to the population. Many people I grew up with came down with thyroid cancer beginning in the 1980s (the release was in the early 1950s). I didn't like milk as a kid (I'm a bit lactose intolerant) so that probably saved my life. We've had fund raising for cancer research for decades now not to mention other diseases and not much in the way of cures. Might one think that diseases are too much a profit center with for-profit healthcare that there is little interest in creating cures though in most cases prevention is the cure. Plus there are those who feel that wiping out much of the population through epidemics and disease is a good thing as there are too many people on the planet. And where are all these new "souls" coming from or is there in reality only one soul in the entire universe and we are part of that soul?
