Take the Deus Ex route and produce an incurable disease that only my medicine can cure, infect powerful people in the government and than produce it in very limited quantities to control the them...<.<

If you don't give it up people will NEVER leave you alone and you will have thousands of angry morons with signs at your door and someone will probably attempt to kill you and take it themselves.?
By angry morons, you mean people who dont want to die ?

You'd quite literally be playing god with such power, some diseases shouldn't be cured, you should already know which ones anyway. No, I'd destroy it, people would find a way to take advantage of it if it's too expensive or cheap to the public. They'll either steal or hoard it all to themselves. I know, there are people who aren't like that but the majority are that way.

Give it away. For free. Trust me, I would rather have overpopulation on my conscience than seeing on the news people dying and knowing I could have done something to stop it.
I'm with you there.

I would store it in the most secure place possible, curing every disease could create a mad power struggle for something as powerful as that.

you could basically become immortal and in large doses could kill millions through small doses of each disease.

Guess other/keep it. More keep it a secret before the government finds out, steals it for some bullshit reason, and then keeps it from the public and tries to do something for the military forces or something else along those lines.

Just give it to American government, and force then to distribute it.
China might ask for it's money back and the U.S. would be forced to give it up. But Americans will probably refuse and that would start WWIII.

Sell it, become rich, use money to fund secret organization, use said organization to keep the world's population down.

I'd tell the world that no one's getting the cure untill all nations agree to carve the writings from Winston Smith's diary from the book 1984 into big cement flabs to be placed in every nation, and we start start colonizing the Moon and Mars.

In other words, I'd be telling everyone that the cure won't be given until the chances a would-be Big Brother will build a large totalitarian goverment from whereever he might be from become completely shut out (take that, Thought Police), and we take up off-world colonization to shut out the chances of overpopulation.

Give it away. I think overpopulation is an ironic way for the human race to go. And as I'd be hailed the saviour (hah) of humanity then at least I'd be in with a fighting chance to be on top of the dogpile.

I'm going to take something from Lex Luthor's book.
I would have the everything cure slowed down into a lifelong process so I can milk as much money as I can from it.

Give it out for free to the entire populace, duh?

I'd skip the government of course...they'd regulate it.

No, I'd just mass produce it with the money given from a Nobel Peace Prize (cure for everything deserves that, right?) and just give everyone in the world a copy of this cure. Well...as many as I could produce, anyway...

Well I was gonna say drop in from zeppelins while blasting "I Want A New Drug" through massive speakers, but since you gave the counterargument to that plan I seal it away in a vault, until the day when humanity needs it. Whether that be massive population drop, alien invaders spreading the genophage, etc.

I'd give it to people I cared about, and sell it to a very select few to make huge sums of money, but other then that keep it to myself. Disease is one of the few ways to have at least some population control other then war.
Other than you know, death. You know, thing that happens to everybody eventually normally.
Yea, but with medical technology like it is, people live much longer then they really should. Get rid of disease, and your left with murder, war, and accidents being the only thing that kills people before they would die naturally, which for most is 60-80 years. Altogther, that would start to add up fairly quickly.

Sell a fake cure to a company while I keep the real cure with me on my Mars palace that I will have bought with my mass amount of money I received from said company. Then I will enter phase two in which the nations to go into an all out war with the remaining nation winning the real cure. With most of the human population destroyed in the world war, overpopulation won't be a risk. So as to prevent any long term overpopulation in the future, I will simply fire a tactical laser nuke to decimate humanity once in a while. That way people can have their wonder drug and prevent overpopulation!
