We have been, it's just been very slow and you don't hear much about small steps with everything else going on.

And ig we do have cybernetic limbs now, the're just not cyberpunky yet, just robotic prosthetics

Really? There is an amazing amount of research going on every day all over the world. Rightfully it takes a lot of time and testing to bring new therapies to mainstream use. Go back just 20 years and look at how far things have come, immunotherapy, gene therapy, hpv immunisation to eradicate cervical cancer, better diagnosis, screening and drugs.

Because it's not profitable. The industries make the most money from sick people who don't get better

I was not aware of that, thx just assumed we would get better similar to how cyberpunk 2077 had different medicines.

thats a bit of a downer...but ive seen medical students who want to change things.

hopefully 1 day ye Ive always been interested in that stuff

America and others should give tax credits for R&D and penalties for advertising and stock buybacks.

Sure, but they don't have the power

ok..... then pitch some idea so that big fish corporations wont ruin our medical system.

The only conceivable way would be to invoke change at the source. You would need to influence or infiltrate the highest powers involved in the decision making there. Since this would require you to be a industry relevant billionaire and it can't be done with politics especially when payoffs are involved, good luck is all I can say. But I'm just a philosopher, not a miracle worker.

tru lot of good stuff thx im always interested in how science is and changes growing up.
