Yes, if medical treatment of human beings was as uncomplicated as distilling gasoline or bottling soft drinks it would be unbearable and unacceptable that people come down with incurable diseases, unfixable injuries, and untreatable ailments (not to mention wearing out and dying).

If medicine treatment was a science instead of only an art, how happy we would be.

Someday, perhaps, you'll get your wish and we'll all be replaced by robots and other mechanical devices that don't have pesky individuality.

No genetic anomalies, no quirks in the DNA, no differences in nature or nurture, no bad choices, no wobbles in the mechanism, only seamless, poreless, antiseptic perfection.

Eat too much? They don't eat!

Drink too much? They don't drink!

Sexually transmitted diseases? They don't have cells to get infected! (Nor nerve cells, nor hormones, but perhaps they can be programmed to feel something like desire and enjoyment, who knows?)

Work too hard? They're made to work without stopping!

Heaven on earth, at last.
