All I want science to cure is billionaires, we'll take it from there. Concentrations of wealth that enable making brains grow eyes are a bug, not feature. Ever read "Whitey's on the Moon"?
That problem is very much one that's beyond the domain of scientists. That's like saying "All I want literature to do is decipher the genetic basis of cancer". Trust me, if science were able to cure billionaires, it would.
Science gave us the guillotine, I choose to hold out hope. Pinpointing and publishing where all the wealth's being concentrated would be an excellent Science Task
Science didn't give us the guillotine, no matter which scientific method or forbear you're using to determine scientific nature. At best, engineering gave us the guillotine, but I rather doubt there was any actual engineering design going on when they first made the Halifax Gibbet, except insofar as "I need a simpler and more consistent way to lazily kill petty criminals" was "defining a need".
