A complete scientific genius so far ahead of the 21st century status quo that it isn't even funny discovers cures for several diseases that plague Earth such as nearly every form of cancer, lupus and most STDs etc

She's like "Its obvious when you think about it, not even hard to make either, every country, well everyone that matters anyway could roll this out nationally inside of like a year"

But then when she is asked to share her discovery she refuses.

"Why would I want to do that?" she asks

"It'd save millions of lives!" every healthcare conglomerate replies

"What so theres more people like you around? No thank you!" she retorts

"It'd save billions of dollars" the conglomerates plead

"So? Who cares? How does that effect me?"

"We would pay you a fortune!"

"Meh, I already have more money than I know what to do with. I don't need anything, nah I think it's better this way."

"What would you say to the dying children if they could see you now!?"

"After I finished laughing? Probably I think I'm going to have pizza for lunch."

How would you react?

What do you think the authorities should or shouldn't do?

TIL in addition to having "I like to troll" as an interest on his resume, UR/JMO also has "I think Indian people are a race like black people"

Tbh I'd tried to get some compensation out of it. Just $10 million or so, a drop in the bucket for the medical industry.

Authorities shouldn't do anything.

Motivated individuals, though? They can do whatever they want.

About the only "general" cure would be splicing in several copies of p53.

Kill her so the cure never gets out. Get paid billions by big pharma for ensuring they stay in business
