Are these kind of drugs good for the human race? (Score 1)

People are trying to come up with synthetic drugs that help humans combat viruses, etc. I wonder if this is going to effect the human race in the long run. Even though viruses mutate themselves so that the next time we encounter them, we are at their mercy, one thing that does happen is that our body's immune system also steps "foward" everytime we catch the flu and get better from it...i.e. after we fight it, our bodies contain antibodies to for the virus we just staved off. Is this an important part of the evolutionary process? Will synthetic drugs eventually make humans weaker and more drug dependent???
