We usually ignore those people, but since you are special I will direct you to popular science magazine out of the kindness of my heart.

science - failing to let us live 3 times longer!
i can go on and on about all the things science has "failed" us on...but why don't i let you elaborate on exactly how science has failed us or is failing us.
this should be mighty interesting.

Technological advance is a double edged sword, but this is entirely a red herring in regard to the article. It's about how science has shifted into a reliance on statistics, at our detriment.

no worries ruin, i concur completely.
science is observation. but, the mere observation of something alters it. the ramifications of this are unfathomable, as this undermines the very principles of what we refer to as ''reality''.

I read the article but it doesn't sound to me that science is failing us, more like there is just a lot of wrong conclusions. If we're honest we kind of expect that don't we?

YEAH IT IS FAILING US! BURN THE SCIENTIST!!! BURN EM AT THE STEAK!!!
wtf is this the 17th century...yeah sure SOME science I laugh at (like those dildos on mythbusters who half the time change what there experiment was suppose to prove halfway during the show) but in general....I have to ahgree with the guy that said science is making us live 3x longer. If you can justl ive log enough theres a good chance we may even achieve some level of immortality with the cures we got going on today for many diseases and many more to come.
