Topic	Is cancer development on the rise?
Zeus 08/27/18 10:56:59 PM #12:	Revelation34 posted... Zeus posted... Came in to say this. If you live long enough, you'll eventually get cancer. The issue is people living longer than ever before. Just like aging, it's a cellular-level defect. What would happen if they fully find a cure for it? Cure for aging or cancer? If cancer wasn't an issue, something else would eventually kill us if we lived long ago because of aging. If aging was cured, people could live indefinitely (especially if it was halted an earlier age when the body was capable of greater self-repair). If you're asking for the social impacts of letting people live twice their lifespans, it would probably balance out with a shrinking birthrate and expansion into space. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:907666221] in Is cancer ...
