I recently saw a movie where the whole plot was about the world suffering from an air borne disease and funny enough, the main character seem to someway somehow take in a potion that changes her genetic make up making her genes the right ones to create a cure for the entire world. The end of the day, she decided give out her body to be used for tests so she could save the whole world. But hey, that’s just a movie. If we should come into our real world setting today, how many people would do that for the good of the world at large.
Science is fast growing each and everyday and the same way the world is advancing, we also have new diseases, conditions and what have you bringing most people down today. Talk of cancer, Covid, sickle cell and so on. Scientists are working day and night find a cure to these disorders and diseases. But a lot goes into it. During the Covid period , I was lucky to get to work with some scientists as they run some tests on some Covid samples we took from some patients to find a way to manage their symptoms. It wasn’t easy and a lot had to be done. So you can imagine how tough research on drug formulations for such conditions can be.
Speaking of cancer, so many people are battling with it on the daily basis and its cure isn’t that easy. It’s tough and expensive and not everyone is lucky and fortunate enough to cure their cancers.I remember losing an aunty to cancer and it was so sad seeing the pain she had to go through. From the word go, she was in pain and even as she was getting cured her situation kept getting worse until she passed on. Everyone was devastated but I guess that’s the will of God.
With all these experiences, I personally would be happy to help cure the world of cancer because I hate having to see people go through all this pain and suffering when I have the key to their cure in my hands. I mean, that would be so wicked of me. To think that I had the keys to saving millions of people and I decide to be selfish about it is not something I think I’d be able to do.
I get that it’s a huge sacrifice that most people might even take for granted or not appreciate but I do know that someone somewhere would be happy and appreciative of the sacrifice that I have made for them. I mean, I wouldn’t have to die to find a cure to cancer, all I need to do is to allow some tests to be run on me. I know it’s a whole lot and the process can be an exhausting one, but as I’m willing to save people, I should also think about myself.
So, I’d make sure to find a fine balance between all these tests and making sure I’m healthy and living my life as I should. This way , I wouldn’t even feel drained from all the tests I’d have to go through. At the end of the day, I just want to help others in my own little way. Life has its own way of testing us all and if this is my test in life, then I’m in for it because where’s my humanity if I can’t help my own people.
all images belong to me.
