Should we continue to waste money researching cancer?!


Question: Should we continue to waste money researching cancer?
Cancer kills people... but then it is jus part of the system of nature... this is why predators exist... to keep the population of other animals lower than them steady... otherwise there wud be over population.... yet.. we keep tryin to research for sumthin tht is uncurable... when we already have people sufferin who are perfectly healthy... why use a lot of money to give a person an extra month... an extra year to live... when they are inevitably goin to die... i know it sounds mean.. but philsophically... would it not be better to spend all that money on starvin people... with tht money you could help a lot of people who actually are not gonna die... unless they starve..

This question was asked by another asker the other day - Word for word, and in the same spelling style. I think I will just repeat my answer:

I disagree that cancer research is a waste of money. For instance take a look at what research has done for childhood cancer: http://info.cancerresearchuk.org/cancers…

We are not talking an extra month here. We are talking a full life.



By your argument starving, malaria, tornados, tsunami is all nature too so why bother on those. I agree somewhat...the amount of money for a disease we are naturally programmed to get eventually is a bit much. But that said, there are plenty of 6 year olds who suffer terribly who don't get cancer at that late age when we "should". I think eventually they'll figure out some ways to slow it down or even stop it, but there will always be many more ways to die off (heart disease is the #1 killer of women actually).



Have you ever known or lost someone to Cancer? I get what you are saying. Government does waste a lot of money on silly studies. But Cancer research? Come on. When you have to watch someone you love go through it and fight and then lose that fight, I doubt you would ever say such a thing. As mean as this question is, I pray and hope you will never go through it.



Everything that goes on in our lives is research - YOUR life as well. Trial and error. Mistakes will come before a cure as it has with every medicine and vitamin your taking.
Cancer is not a predator.
You obviously have no idea what your talking about. Stop trying to "philosophize" and go learn how to spell!



You'll feel differently when it is you or your baby with cancer.

An extra month to live is a precious thing. Time to say your goodbyes to your parents, your friends and your children.



Countless people have used a revolutionary technique known as 'The Healing Codes' to support the body's ability to heal cancer.

There is an excellent 9-minute video on 'The Healing Codes' at 'www.QOLPS.ccom'



Go to the local junior college and take an ethics class. They get into this sort of thing. The short answer is, wait till someone very close to you gets cancer. You'll see.



It's a good question, it's different when you're the one with the cancer though...or if it's your child.



Yes. It is the best money wasted. Some day they WILL FInd a Cure.
