A Cure for AIDS in Our Lifetime?
One huge hope for science that I have is that scientists will be able to find a cure for not only AIDs, but for all deadly diseases and infections. I think that it is safe to say that most people know at least one person who has died from a disease or infection that has no cure. I also think it is safe to say that these people would love there to be a discovery to cure the disease which killed their loved one. The unfortunate part is that scientists are not optimistic about finding cures to such diseases. This article talks about how scientists are not even sure if there will even be a possibility of find a cure "in the next 20 years" (McNeil). It is somewhat sad that scientists are not hopeful, but that does not mean that a cure will not be found.

As I was reading your post, I could not help but think about how nice it would be if scientists actually found cures for many of the diseases that devastate our world today. While this would seem to be a good thing, there are always negative repercussions. While we may be saving people, we are also hurting our world, especially with problems such as world hunger. While I feel that, overall, cures for these diseases would be a positive thing, I also feel that as we advance, we need to be careful of the negative effects we may be causing.
