I remember when Michael J Fox announced that he had Parkinson’s in 1998 https://www.michaeljfox.org/michaels-story He started his foundation to treat/cure the disease. Somehow I thought we’d have had made more progress in 25 years. I also find it interesting to look back at the US national debt and wonder how the world would have been different if we invested more of that into research (e.g medical, pure science, etc…

My mom has Parkinson's.

The thing that causes the symptoms is brain cells dying at an abnormally fast rate.

It's really hard to treat cells dying from poorly understood causes.

The foundation has helped get a number of new drugs approved to help with the symptoms.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

>is it still "child proof"? I'm a dad, and I have a soapbox to stand on and talk about child proof container. I have memories of my young children discovering over-the-counter pills and rat poison. BUT, there is a distinct population of people who don't need or want child proof pill protection, and they should be served, too.

I'm not advocating for anything, I am wondering if there were design compromises necessary in a pure boolean fashion (which will then lead to wondering if both audiences can be served adequately with one single design)

That makes sense. I'm always interested in solutions that can meet two very different groups at the same time
