Description:

This weeks sees our faith in humanity being eaten away more then ever before. Whether it is the idea that humanity must engineer itself to escape earth, being replaced with robots or just being stupid. By contrast only a few things seem to have given us a fraction of hope.

On the good end of the spectrum we might have new ways to deal with osteoporosis. Well in a decade or more but still it could be a superior option to the current treatments.

We might also have a way to improve the longevity of fertility. This would not only be effective but also use an already available medication.

At the stupid end of things we have all kinds of dumb. Bad agriculture policy starving a country. A plan for a kosovo person to trigger another wold war. Finally the use of eels with out a flanged based in Vietnam.
