If you could instantly cure all forms of cancer, would you?

Just a little thing to think about.

Here are the rules.

You cannot monetize it in any way, it is a free cure for everyone in the world... cancer no longer exists.
You cannot choose to cure just the kids, or just certain types of cancer.

You would have to be a complete ******* who deserves cancer if you didn't.

I am sure it would put millions out of jobs, but millions of lives would be saved and years of pain would be gone. And, I am sure those people who are in the medical business of serving those with cancer would agree that finding a new job would be worth all the pain and suffering that would be prevented.

Without a doubt, yes. I don't need any credit, I just want the loved ones I've lost to have some retribution.

True, but consider the following.

They will die of something. Curing all cancer will raise life expectancy by 3 years. They will now be dying of heart disease, diabetes, or alzheimers. Wont they still suffer?

I don't really think it would put people out of work because the people who used to work cancer will now just work on people slowly dying of diabetes and alzheimers.

It would break social security and insurance as there would be 3 more years of benefits and care on average for every person. Sure it would save cancer treatment costs but there would be other costs taking their place.

Why would anyone say no to that question.

There's no real down side to this question.

A better question is would you cure cancer but you have to die for it to happen?

I imagine there are some people making lots of money off of cancer drugs who would say no.

No compensation for something that will literally save billions of lives? Lol

Every pharmaceutical company will profit off this.

ETA: no matter who discovers it, every one in medicine would have their greedy, grubby little hands in it…doctors, pharma, insurance, gubmint

Don't worry. Smoking will still kill you without cancer

I hadn't considered the increased Social Security payments... I am convinced to not magically end cancer

The faster ponzie scheme of SS goes away the better off we all will be.

Everyone will eventually die. That's life. Just one less sucky way to go. Do away with one less sucky way to go? Sure I am for that.

It says you can't get money, but it doesn't say anything about not being able to get p***y. Just think of all the college girl ass thrown your way for saving grandma

My Father in law died of cancer and my mother got "Stage 0" or something and was cured.
Seeing my Father In law's state after chemotherapy made me cry.
So YES, I will do so. No money, no credit needed. I will be really happy if no human being had to suffer like that any more. It is better to just drop dead than become a shell and suffer so much.

Yes. I have several relatives that have had or have cancer and almost all of my relatives that have passed in the last 15 years or so, it was cancer that caused or contributed.

If cancer were forever cured, we could go back to the good old days of sharing a smoke with little Johnny.

No reason to keep people alive if you can't feed them.

You have to give us a down side to the question like

You can cure all cancer but


Hitler won the war.

Or

Women can reproduce asexually

Or

Cru posts more


Something like that.

The downside is that people live longer. Total population goes up. Food sources don't.
