engineers have done more to extend life and improve human health than doctors.

By far the most important factor in extension of the human life span has been the separation of the human waste stream from our water supply.

The reduction started a number of decades before the germ theory of disease proved why this separation was important.

Plumbers have saved a LOT more lives than doctors ever have.

It was started by the Eskimos with their yellow snow theory.

Of course, this was a requirement in Jewish law centuries before.
