Everyone has to do their part, the people working to cure it have to be able to get to work, eat, sleep etc..
i understand, i guess the point i was trying to make is that it would be nice if people with gifted minds could pool together their intellects to solve more directly humane issues; but i understand how selfish it seems to wish for intelligence and effort of others should be delegated against their will
