Meddling with mice when people cannot be cured....

When you look at something like this, in a mechanistic sense it is quite impressive. There is no doubt that science/medicine has developed remarkable skills in a materialistic sense.

The question which comes to mind, given these advances, and given the fact that science/medicine is absolutely convinced that the mechanistic/materialistic approach to the human body and health is the right one, is, why has it been so singularly unsuccessful in actually curing disease?

How many can say they actually know a lot of people who have been cured by modern medicine? That means restored to optimum health - no medication, no procedures, no ongoing maintenance - restored to optimum health.
How many people can say, yes, I know people who have been cured of heart disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, depression, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis, psoriasis, hypertension.... and countless other diseases, and I mean cured, disease completely gone and a healthy person as the result?

Doctors today have become secretaries who order tests and chemists who prescribe drugs and while the US stands out and 'leads' the way, society today is the most heavily medicated and most chronically ill in human history.
Something is very, very wrong.
