    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.

    Nature can be so cruel. Stunned while eaten alive from the least important organs to the most. I cannot think of anything more terrible than that

    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"..
