Maybe we should "infect" billionaires with stuff without a cure, do they'll start pouring money into the research

Some stuff is obviously harder, but many cancers seem to be linked with viruses, so we can maybe go that route.

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's will be a lot harder, but I'm open for suggestions

    I mean, if we're going that route, just cut out the middle man, guillotine the billionaire and utilize their wealth to further research.

    They're never going to put 100% of their worth behind any one thing, even if it means curing something terminal (in my opinion, anyway) so just get the terminal part out of the way and seize everything after they're dead.
