It seems like cancer is the biggest thing we all think of when it comes to medicine and what we’d most like to eradicate from our species. So my question is phrased this way out of curiosity what the second worst thing medicine is currently trying to eradicate.
Cancer is only the biggest thing because it can hit anyone, including rich people.
Not because it’s actually what is the biggest threat.
The great equaliser.
In developed countries, it is the biggest killer by far, followed by heart disease. Do you mean to include starvation, war, and infectious diseases in underdeveloped countries?
I was thinking more about diseases in general, whether infectious, psychological, etc.
