news related : IS THERE A CONSPIRACY NOT TO FIND A CURE FOR CANCER?

[+] ballot by grapost
created Tue Nov 11, 03

Finding a cure for cancer is a Trillion Dollar industry. Look at all the money that is donated. All the people that are employed by this. The amount of money to be made in this quest for a cure. Many people have gotten rich from this. I mean they've managed to map the Human Gnome but still no clue as to what causes cancer. Medical Technology and Science are making huge advances everyday. So why no cure? Could it be there is TOO MUCH money to be made. If cure WERE found, the money would dry up, people would be laid off, and nobody would get rich anymore. THERE IS A LOT TO LOSE IF A CURE WERE FOUND! Is there a conspiracy?

Yes

Not Sure

For all your knowledge of cancer, how can you not know what the Human Gnome is? It's the complete Genetic Blueprint of the human DNA. It was just completed with in the last year ahead of predictions. Now that every part of the human DNA has been discovered, the next step is to determine the function of all the genes in DNA. Once that is achieved, some medical miracles will be possible.

FREE JASON from Jail for telling the truth about this

there is a conspiracy. there is also money to be made by selling the CAUSES of cancer- cigarettes, mcDonald's food, lack of exercise (selling cars instead of selling walking to work) - it's a double edged sword. you lose either way.

I think that the scientists working towards finding a cure for cancer are not making much money. However there is a lot more reasonable reason why a cure for cancer shouldn't be found.

The population is aging and as we improve the healthcare system more and more, our average life expectancies increase. This means that more people are surviving to the age where they need long-term healtcare (e.g living in nursing homes). This costs us a lot of money.

If we cure cancer A LOT more people will survive to depend on long-term healthcare, costing us a fortune just to keep them alive.

So, I believe that finding a cure for cancer will be detrimental to society AS A WHOLE.

P.S. I apologise to anyone who has lost a close one to cancer and is offended by what I say

"I have a great deal of respect for Linus Pauling. He was a remarkable man and I think many of his ideas were subsequently shown to be correct. I'd hazard a guess that he may have been correct about the vitamin C as well. The problem at the time was that there was no mechanism to explain the phenomena that he saw, and as a result the medical community and the scientific fraternity were very suspicious of his data and of him. He was quite a crusader, but I think with science particularly, if you don't have a mechanism to explain your findings then people are very sceptical about it. We may have a mechanism that explains what he saw." -- vissers
