Not to negate the amazing accomplishments here but, is saved the right word? After all they were saved but only to later die of something else. So prolonged might be more accurate although then you are forced to consider if that’s a good or bad thing. Because if you prolong someone’s life and they have a poor standard of living is it even worthwhile or are you just dragging out their suffering? I mean I see the most successful businessmen in history spending billions on rockets rather than buying mosquito nets to save lives by the dollar and I have to wonder if they haven’t come to the same conclusion. That is; the quality of the experience is as important as the length.
