Lets have a war on cancer!!

[bripat9643]

Let's have a war on cancer! Let's use the entire medical research infrastructure of this country to kill this disgusting and evil monster once and for all. It is the second most deadly disease and cost our nation tens of billion dollars of healthcare dollars each and every year.

It would be cheaper over the longer term to go all the way and spend big on killing it. No one else needs to freaking suffer.

Yeah, because the war on drugs and the war on poverty went so well . . . . . . er, no, that's not right.

Cancer is disgusting. Is it more disgusting than the respiratory deseases that were the standard terminators 100 years ago? Now that you will end cancer, something even worse will have to take its place. The Book of Revelations writes that people will "wish to die but death will run away from them". Bravo, good job.

Are you saying don't end cancer because the bible says something worse will come in its place?? Am I reading that right?

Well, this was true for the elimination of heart attack which is complete at this time. It is interesting to listen to old people when they discuss with each other how it is better to die. None of them want to choose cancer, but they rather prefer heart attack, which we eliminated. This is how dubious geriatric medicine is.

Heart attacks aren't eliminated. They happen all the time. I hear what you are saying though. Getting old can get painful and chronic pain isnt necessarily a good alternative to a quick death. That being said cancer isn't an quick death and it isn't just an old person illness. It effects people of all ages. Are you to tell a 10 year old who has cancer that they are better off? If it was your kid wouldn't you want to do everything you could to find a cure?

Government programs of war on this and that are never individual efforts but statistical processes. And by statistics, cancer is mostly a geriatric desease, even if some young people have it too.

Let's have a war on cancer! Let's use the entire medical research infrastructure of this country to kill this disgusting and evil monster once and for all. It is the second most deadly disease and cost our nation tens of billion dollars of healthcare dollars each and every year.

It would be cheaper over the longer term to go all the way and spend big on killing it. No one else needs to freaking suffer.

Of course banning carcinogens would not be allowed by the ruling class. So any war is purely symbolic.

I am sure we could find a way. 1. Cut the red tape that slows the approval process to decades, 2. fund proven and successful first stage experiments to make it to approval. 3. Could be looking into such carcinogens to see if we can reduce the percentage of the population getting it.

Cancer kills 750,000 Americans every year. Hell, yes we should have a war and pour resources into defeating it.

 

[dblack]

Lets have a war on anyone who doesn't want to help us fund cancer research!

We don't win wars anymore.

We don't win wars anymore.

Because we keep cooking up wars that aren't winnable. That are even actually wars.
