There are far fewer good honest people on this planet than you might imagine. I can't wait for some species from a far off universe to decide that enough is enough and eliminate the bad humans entirely
I'm sure they have the technology, they just can't be bothered at the moment

But what if that species was even worse than humans Losos and had attained their status in their world in exactly the same way as humans. Unless of course you are referring to divine intervention.PS I don't think humans are the largest species to populate this earth.

Re: The Greatest
Though the question asked for the greatest inventions I'll say I'm grateful for some amazing medical procedures, 2 in particular: laser vision correction which took me from 20/600 to 20/20 back in 1998, and particularly for In-Vitro Fertilization which gave me my children in 1985 (all 3 of 'em at once!).

Re: The Greatest
For me in medicine, first it has to be the discovery of penicillin and the subsequent development of broad spectrum anti-biotics. These have saved countless thousands of lives over the last eight decades.Second I would put the discovery and development of vaccination. This has brought many diseases, which used to be killers, under control and has also saved countless thousands of lives.

They were even good teenagers and, as their dad walked out when they were 13, the four of us ran the household together and weathered all the lows. The girls will be 26 this year and live in different cities now of course, getting on with their own careers. Yes, my eyesight is still good. A few years ago I started to wear reading glasses which they tell me is due to muscles around the eyes relaxing as we get older. I was 20/20 in one eye and 20/15 in the other when last tested.
