In part I agree, but engineering is very different than unlocking the secrets of biology. Entirely different profession, and an entirely different science.
Physics are always there and a lot can be approximated with just your eyes, hearing and touch. You can throw a ball, and you know it drops in X amount of time.
When it comes to biology, there are a practically infinite number of potential variables of causes, effects and cures.
Now, that said, leaving it to people who want to treat rather than cure is not a very good plan from a moral stance or a progressive science point of view.
Public funding also needs to be based on iterative results, as in promising research. Instead we just throw money at labs who never intend to get anywhere.
There should have been research on this a long time ago.
Surely there was, and that's why it's suppressed. Conclusion was it works or is good for us. So now it goes in the secret box.
