RadRTT said...................................if you believe one drug can cure cancer. TAKE A CLASS ON ONCOLOGY! YOU WILL LEARN THAT CANCER IS A BROAD TERM AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES/DEGREES OF CANCER. ONE PILL CAN'T CURE CANCER...
You are an idiot if you ever think it is possible.
Medjai saidYes and no. Lung Cancer. There is Adenocarcinoma, Small Cell Carcinoma, and Non-small cell carcinoma. Those 3 are different type of lung cancers but they are ACTUALLY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN HOW THE ACT. Actually non-small cell lung cancer is not caused by smoking. Small Cell and Adenocarcinoma are. Small cell cancer will 100% spread to the brain. Thats why we treat the brain profolactivley (before any symptoms arise)
What, you mean cancer isn't the same thing happening the same way, just in different places? Madness!

Medjai saidI know. I'm currently taking a number of biochemistry courses, and cancer factors into them pretty heavily.I am really just writing that so people will understand, not ONE drug can kill cancer. It truly baffles me that people without any education in Oncology believe that one pill can wipe out cancer.

One pill can wipe out babies, and they're pretty much cancer. It's just extrapolation.
God, I'm horrible today. See what midterm season does to me?
Medjai saidThere's also a morality issue. Say you are studying a specific type of cancer, and are running human trials. You have a study and control group. You perform your double blind properly, and the study group is cured, but the control group is going to die.
There is an ethical responsibility to give the drug to these people too. So you do. Now what has happened? You no longer have a control group to validate the study. There is no study. Your drug is not approved due to lack of evidence.
This can, and has, happened to several drugs over the years. Not cancer specifically, but it easily could. The system is a bitch.

Toastvenom saidif humanity survives a thousand years from now and achieves some level of enlightenment they are going to look back at this period the way we do Neanderthals and shudder at how utterly stupid and selfish we were. The basic idea that some asshole always has to PROFIT from something is the reason why we as a society are morally going nowhere. capitalism blows chunks.

Toastvenom saidwell see that's just my point. even this idea of a "patent" that somebody has to trademark or own an idea or cure is just stupid and primitive. This sense of ownership is exactly why we have wars. The future will look back at be impressed by the strides made but they will marvel in disgust as to the motivations behind those strides. Again, capitalism blows chunks
