What the Greatest Medical Breakthrough

The British Journal of Medicine was launched 166 years ago. they are doing a poll to determine the greatest medical breakthrough in the last ...you guessed it...166 years. I'd say that period incorporates pretty much all of modern medical science.

Anyway, readers submitted suggestions and they have pared it down to a list of 15, they think are the biggest and bestest.
What do you think?
