My question revolves around the fact that we are very invested in human health. Im not saying we shouldn’t be but it seems we do have a narrow viewpoint.
I want to understand if we would benefit from curing animal diseases as well. If those biological processes/mechanisms could be understood would we be moving forward in more ways than one.
We have the means too since we already take so much data from nature and use it to our benefit. Hence the Amazon being a pharmaceutical mine.
Imagine a hospital just for snails. The whole investment of snail research would give us a very detailed view of snail disease. I’m sure we would contrast and compare to human processes to give us either an easy or hard answer but an answer non the less. If we did this for all species would that give us a more robust approach to medicine?
