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.
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.
