I wanted to say that I enjoyed the title of this thread.

Also, it has some merit to an extent in my opinion.  I strongly believe that the human race is ultimately better off naturally fighting off threats and that certain advances in our medical capabilities may have a negative long term effect on the strength of the human race to fight off potential threats in the future.  We seem to be becoming reliant on our scientific advancements to save us from threats at an increasing rate as a way to avoid being accountable for our own poor decisions and behavior.
