I'm afraid I don't have a lot more to add than the question. With new breakthroughs in medicine coming all the time, we're ensuring that more and more people can and will pass on their genes. This effectively ends natural selection for humans, doesn't it?
I see an evolved species as one that is most likely to survive, and when a species has a very high survival rate it introduces all kinds of different genetics, increasing the chances of survival against a wider spectrum of antagonists...therefore I see evolution as speeding up instead of slowing down (for the humans*).
