We can manipulate bacteria and viruses to create biological weapons...

We can build a bomb intelligent enough to be sent via satellite down a 6" stovepipe.
Hell, we can make satellites.
We can make fake boobs, fake asses, fake lips, medicine to give men hard-ons, and we can even use botulin to erase wrinkles.

But we can't find a cure-all for cancer. In the past month, four people I know have died of cancer. My best friend's father starts chemotherapy Monday to shrink a large, stage-four malignancy on his liver--and it doesn't look good. My dad beat cancer last year; he will attend his best friend's funeral tomorrow--his best friend died from cancer. My mother's best friend died of cancer in August. Even people in their late thirties and fourties are dying with it.

There has to be a cure out there. Too many people suffering. Is cancer this prevalent in other regions of the nation? I live in rural south Mississippi. I seriously am beginning to believe that there is something in the water.

3. Cancer

Won't be cured so easily because some of the companies that make cancer drugs ALSO make the carcinogens that pollute our food air water and land,Cancer is profitable.
There is a "conflict of interest".

6. What makes you think there isn't already a cure?

If these things were easily cured, Pharmacutical companies would lose BILLIONS of dollars. So, they let people die out of greed. There's a nice cozy place in hell for them right next to Hitler.

8. There is soooo much more money to be made in treating

cancer than there is in curing cancer.
