Science or magic?
RE:
Both, I'd like to think!
Does it matter?
Whichever, I want one!

BZAM!
I could feel a sound building up even before getting to the panel. Mind goes back (way back) to tinkering ill-advisedly with stuff. None left permanent damage.. Or other effects, unfortunately ;-)
"Reach for the sun."
Old gender test.
An alien hops out of his spaceship and hands you a box that he say will cure all diseases on earth. Do you take it:
(a) To the World Health Organization;
(b) To your national health Organization;
(c) To a private company; or
(d) Apart.

Probably (d).
Probably (d).
Not sure if I trust any of the first 3 ;-)
For that matter...
Do you trust the aliens?
I'm close enough to the end of my life (not that close, but close enough) that I would try it on myself -- like any other mad scientist worth his salt. If that worked, I would use it on everyone I love. Then, I would get with them all and we would do our best to figure out how to make it available worldwide.
It would probably involve the use of TOR and YouTube to spread the news far and wide and offer to give it to an international task force drawn from all of the world's freedom loving countries.
I would keep it out of the hands of Big Pharma because Big Pharma would like it about as much as the diamond companies would like to see someone create gem quality artificial diamonds.
Remember, a patient cured is a customer lost.

That's a whole lot better than what happened to the person who had a mishap with the real Demon Core.
