It's not that I don't care about humanity and science, but the 
pharmaceutical
companies that will benefit seem to care more about profits than humanity.
Many if not most of the scientists are likely more concerned about
humanity, but they don't run the companies or market the products.

So for now I will just help look for extraterrestrials, but I've always 
wondered
about what I win if my computer finds one. ;-)
