Billions (with a b) are given to cancer research, oogles of money/time/dedication is given on an annual basis, yet Roswell (the top leading cancer institution in the country) still can't find a cure?

I mean, how are you still begging for money at this point? I won't pretend like I know the finances behind cancer research, but I would think at this point there should be more progress than what there is. I mean where the hell is all of this money going? How are you still asking for tons more saying that what you have isn't anywhere close enough? For Christ sake, so many loved ones could have been saved by now.

Same reason Flu and Cold haven't been cured. There is no "one" cancer, there are tons of different cancers with different behaviors that require different treatments.

Some forms of cancers have crazy high survival rates thanks to that research you're bitching about.

I keep hearing that, but you're going to go on forever not making a cure just to make money? I had go watch my family members suffer on their deathbed so you can make a buck? I watched my grandmother die of cancer. I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy.

And if they never develop a cure, then what the hell is the point of them constantly getting all of this money?

They make more money on treating than curing. I firmly believe there is a cure to many things, but if you have people pumping money into research and treatment, it's more profitable.

I hate to be that dark about it, but I don't think that the government and medical world is looking out for the people first. It's always about money.

Well maybe do a little bit of research and you will understand why it's not easy to simply cure.

Money is a stupid reason. The person or company who managed to cure all forms of cancer would be swimming in money. If people were purposefully holding back a cure then why have so many diseases been cured already?

Evilness. Tell your wife "they could keep you alive if they wanted to, but they opted to buy a Mercedes instead".

It's evil. I learned in my college days that there is a 100% cure for AIDS, but it will not be distributed.

I'm going to say this as nice as possible, but it's because of people like you that are gullible enough to believe the government tells us the truth and they are doing what they can for us is why stuff like this goes on. A majority of the public buys into the bullshit, and has faith in the system and is blind to the corruption. They just absorb the news as fact and think nothing more about it. That's how they want it to be, controlled with no questions asked.

Yea most of the time they use the term "cancer" because it shares some same characteristics or are just too lazy to come up with a fancy word for each illness.

Because cancer is the multiplication of genetically damaged cells. It is a lot trickier than developing a vaccine for something caused by an infection.

Curing cancer is not too unlike discovering immortality.

Cancer isn't just one disease. The term cancer is used for hundreds of different cell replication dysfunctions and there are unimaginable numbers of things that can cause cancer. We're not talking about a broken bone where we see the one thing that is wrong, it's so much more complicated than that.

The idea that they also have a cure but won't give it out due to the money they make from people who have it is illogical considering the cost of what it takes to treat the millions on people who have cancer.

Do you know anything about HIV or AIDS, or cancer in general? Like the pathophys and concepts behind treatment? Or the mechanisms of actions of all the drugs?
