What’s your opinion on this? Is curing hereditary diseases on a genetic level a scientific possibility? If so, why there’s a focus on supressing those diseases or their symptoms?

    Is there e.g. a country that started their, let’s say national medical science institute to tackle the topic from this other side? There must be at least one in this whole world, do you know of any?

      I was doing some digging and found the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), an EU institution. It receives less than €60 million annually (I don’t think this is much?)

      There’s also the Chinese equivalent, the CCDC. This is their website https://www.chinacdc.cn/en/

      Edit: On a national level, I don’t know how much impact they have

        Thanks! So we need to get info if they’re doing medical studies on new drugs and therapies.
