If I were a mad scientist and could create a cure for any disease, which would I cure?
Since the prompt includes the word "mad" in the label, I am going to answer with a crazy answer; old age. I would treat old age as a disease and find a cure for it. That doesn't necessarily mean that we wouldn't all pass away eventually but we wouldn't suffer from the ravages of old age ever again. We would all die from other ways but we would die not from any effects that come from old age.
Now onto a more serious treatment of the topic. If I could create a cure for a disease which one to pick? There is Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, M.S; I am not going to list them all, but I would probably concentrate all of my efforts on the diseases that are neurologically based in the hopes that a cure for one can lead to a cure for all.
Moreover I would, since I was "mad", disseminate the cure for free to the world and drive the pharmaceutical companies crazy when they see their precious profits go up in smoke. If you are going to be "mad" might as well be "mad" for the benefit of the world.
Hey there!
This is as hilarious as it is deep! I agree. Seeing as we’re ALL in the process of death really, there needn’t be a reason to do it Alzheimically!
Followed you all through the season, living surreptitiously through your posts – each one dense with life of the moment.
Loved reading about Dinner With Hubbies Friends!
Your description was Gastronomy in itself!
Wishing you and your family the very best of the year – growth and love and adventure.
Hobbit it!
Sweetie I wish you and your family a very happy, healthy and peaceful new year. It makes my heart so light and happy to know that you stay bound to me through my journey in everyday life. You know how much I adore your mastery of words and how you view life. Love you xoxox
I was going to take issue with you for being mad but your unassailable logic in the last paragraph persuaded me you are right to be mad
I found it to be weird that the prompters labeled the scientists mad so I played with it a bit. I mean it about having the cure being given freely to the world. That would be my ambition if I had the brains and the gift to be able to do it.:) I am a radical anarchist free loving soul.:)
I know it!
Love this!
