ah it seems i've misread the initial post and replied to this under the assumption it said "rare illnesses have no cures"

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 6 days ago

Quite the contrary, there are some rare illnesses that are unique in that they do have actual cures now. For example, the Sickle Cell gene therapy is the first gene-editing treatment to be approved for human use and completely cures the individual patient of Sickle Cell disease.
