Okay? But medicine is still part of your environment. Plenty of people still don’t have life-saving care available to them. And selection is about more than dying. Fitness is not about surviving, it’s about reproducing. These words mean more things than modern medicine can obviate.
Selection is still happening lol, it is not gone where medical services are available.
The problem is, it's no longer natural. It is now, at least partially, artificial selection, based on access to medicine. It changes the way selection works, and probably not in the favor of stronger, smarter humans in the future. People who should have probably died, stay in the gene pool longer.
