As for Doctors Without Borders, they do good work but they have very limited resources compared to the billions of people who live in poverty. There are other organizations like Orbis who do similar work as well as countless individual doctors and nurses who volunteer a lot of their time and money treating others for free. However, without drug factories designed and built by engineers, those healers would be still treating people with herbs instead of medicines like antibiotics. And without things like good sanitation, most medical treatment will do little good in the long term.

The tone of your post makes you sound like the typical spoiled American who has never traveled overseas nor met anyone from a 3rd world country. You have the gall to sit in your warm home with a full stomach in front of a computer connected to the Internet and complain about the very people who made all of these conviences possible.

You need to broaden your horizons and see how over half the world's population really lives. If you want to see what life would be like in a community without engineers, I suggest you visit some paradise like Haiti or Somalia. Unless you received a lot of vaccinations and took a lot of precautions, odds are you'd be severely sick or dead within a month due to the parasites and poor sanitary practices in these countries. A life in America with clean water and safe food would leave you ill prepared for surviving in less modern locations.

Engineers work with technology applications. Technology is neutral as far as being good or bad - it's all a matter of how it's used. The same technology that allows some researchers to create vaccines against disease can be used by other researchers to create biological warfare weapons. You can't have one application of the technology without allowing for the other use.

If it sounds like I'm dumping on you pretty hard, so be it. As this cartoon shows, it isn't in my nature to suffer nonsense gladly.
