Reply #39: Cancer is a Sacred Cow until you get it.

Then you you will take it more seriously.

Why should money be taken from any kind of research OR from public health? We know that all of these programs are drops in the bucket compared to The War On Terror(tm).

Public Health involves things like early diagnostic tests. For example, existing treatments for breast cancer have a better chance for success if mammograms & other tests catch the disease earlier.

"Wellness"? Yes, it's great to educate people on lifestyle choices. But don't smugly believe that a vegan diet & positive thinking will give you immunity.
