I’m especially cynical when it comes to the “cure all human diseases” part.

You want to manage a disease. Make it tolerable and survivable. That way, you’ve got a ~~patient~~ customer for life, and you can milk them for decades.

Edit: I’m talking from the point of view of an asshole capitalist, folks.
