well, instead of stopping fammine I would invest on education, because poor uneducated people have a lot of kids, who are very likely to stay poor and unneducated. I say, prevent famine by preventing overpoulation.

Thats the problem with the average person, they are so short sighted. Lets break this down so you can understand the significance. They found a chemical that restores nerve function to damaged tissue....... Studies like this help them understand how this damage is reversed and they can then apply that knowledge to helping PEOPLE with damaged nerve tissue. Paraplegics, Parkinsons, Alzheimers, the list goes on and on. So try not to be so short sighted.

if we all had less kids for 24 years there'd be a drop in population without any slaughter or need to eat any "soylent green"..

yes but only specific to the wasps venom. It doesn't reverse nerve damage, it reverses the effects of the wasps venom, its an anti venom at best. It simple restores a chemical that the venom takes away.
