I&#x27;ve often wondered about things like this, I&#x27;ve wondered if improving medical technologies like this end up disadvantaging the poorer countries. If by increasing the life span of the wealthy west we pull more resources away from the rest of world? It seems as we get better at keeping ourselves alive we require more and more to do so.<p>I have no idea if I&#x27;m even close to correct in my speculation, but I bring it up as the Gates foundation investing in this seems to go against my hypothesis.
