I'm going to agree with this.  We can murder them better if we know what we're murdering.

The medi-kit seems useless for any thing other than raising moral...

Yes, but do you know what happens when soldiers get scared? They panic and shoot at everything And then more soldiers panic. And the cycle repeats. Also dead soldiers are more expensive than living ones in the long run.

Think of it less of a medi-kit and more of a mist fountain for your dwarves.

That said, it can keep for a bit.

Why should we invest in medical technology when we can invest in learning how to advance our soldiers to the point they don't need medical technology?

Also, do we have any actual subjects soldiers or is X-Com currently just a bunch of scientists arguing over what brand of mad science to pursue?

Or, you know, kill aliens faster so they don't have time to wound our guys.

Won't we need aliens to study Xenobiology? And dead soldiers really don't help killing X-Rays. If we have medikits then we won't need to worry about dead soldiers will we?

That's why we need Bigger Guns before that.

yes but we will have to deal with mutilated solders
I think the engineers should work on modifying the marksman rifle to fire huge rounds(maybe .75 caliber) and have better range.

Well the thing about researching medicine is the fact that eventually we could fix the mutilation. Maybe even weaponize it! Think of it, soldiers with bionic limbs! They could jump higher, run faster, hit harder, the possibilities are endless!
