An incredibly complex issue. I'd be here all day trying to address it and my quibbles w/the article, e.g. "race" ≠ "ethnicity," nor is it uniformly defined across countries, since it's a (BS) social construct...

In any event, my knowledge of the issue leads me to think that the outcome is more a feature than a bug.

That said, while I think the article attempts to link (growing target) population size(s) with an increased need to address the "deadly outcomes," I didn't see anything about wealth. Medicine (in America, at least) is a business. How much money do/will the groups in question have to spend on 'services'? I suspect that unless the answer is (a lot) more than that of the current general focus of research (outcomes) things will remain as they are.

Nevertheless, thanks for raising 'the" issue.
