i think it's the internet. bill gates was a genius to have thought of this and an even bigger genius to actually accomplish it.

That's easy, it's antiseptics. Without it there'd be no medicines. You just can't argue with Donnie Darko.

An article (J. Peder Zane, 'It Ain't for the Meat: It's for the Lotion,' The New York Times, May 5, 1996, p. E5 presented the following data for a cow brought to market:
Horns - Gelatin, Collagen - $0.42/lb
Cheek - Sausage, Baloney - $0.55/lb
Adrenal Gland - Steroids - $2.85/lb
Meat - Beef - $1.05/lb
Lips - Taco Filling - $0.19/lb
Hide - Footwear, Clothing - $0.75/lb

The birth control pill. If it weren't for that, the earth would definitely overpopulate. Families used to have like 12 kids because the parents didn't want to stop fucking. Now with the pill, they can fuck all they want without having to have more kids.

I have a better question, come to think of it. What is the most valuable, or most important medicine that has been invented. I'm thinking it might be insulin. one might say that insulin is not even a medicine because it is something that is naturally produced by our bodies, but most forms of insulin used today are synthetic...

Ya, insulin is important, but only for a small number of people. I'd say probably pain killers. Most people use them at some point, if not daily, and it betters your quality of life.

yeah i get tired of stupid people. people with no common sense. those people should be put to sleep. i think that anesthetic is the best invention as far as medecine goes. sawing off your leg back in the day whil you were wide awake would be a bitch. i had surgery to reconstruct my eardrum like two years ago. imagine that without anesthetic. ahh god.

I don't think insulin is an antibiotic dude. It's a hormone released by the liver in response to high blood glucose and amino acid levels which causes an increase in membrane permeability to glucose and thus an increase in glucose uptake into the cells. None the less an important medical discovery.

Banting is the shit. Very few men would work so hard to invent something like that just to give it away for free.

yeah thats true, but it's surprising how many people need to be injected with some form of insulin for whatever reason. basically, insulin helps keep your blood sugar in a normal range by moving glucose from your blood into your cells, so, it is very important because it helps your body turn fats, carbohydrates and starches into energy your body can use. so anybody that has some type of sickness that affects their blood sugar or blood cells will need insulin. sure, diabetics are the main patients that require insulin because their bodies cannot readily convert food to energy, however, there are also so many other types of sicknesses that need it aswell.
I guess I just feel it's an important drug because people could be treated for all sorts of sicknesses by various herbs or plants and whatnot, and diabetes was a fast-spreading illness that was never very well understood until the 1900s. In the early 1920's I believe a dude named Dr. Banting discovered insulin in Ontario actually (woohoo!). Insulin was the first protein to be deciphered. Human insulin was also the first human protein to be made synthetically, so that lead to all sorts of research resulting in other discoveries. It's actually really interesting stuff
Good 'ol discovery channel :o)
