> and morally questionable imo. Why? And what do you think of medical tourism? I can get a flight to/from Taiwan from (say) SFO for ~USD$450. I can get a fairly complicated dental procedure done for (uninsured, out-of-pocket), USD$400. (The same thing can be done w/ Panama, fwiw, but I understand Han culture and communication better than Latinx) Is that wrong? Q2: Why should people be denied treatment that they can (and are willing to) pay for? Because not 100% of the people are able to? If so - where does that reasoning go? Rich people shouldn't buy a Tesla because poor people can't afford a Tesla? Rich people buying Teslas ultimately drive the price down, right? Then more and more people can buy them, right? If immortality cost $1M/year (not much money, actually) - more and more people would get it and sooner-or-later it would be $10K/year (this happened with fax machines in the 80s). Then $5K/year -- or whatever. I believe that rich people subsidize R&D (for selfish reasons) that benefit us all in the future. Do you disagree? If so - why? |
