Think of all the time and money invested in Cancer and other disease curing research. We could be doing much greater things than we are now.

And where in my post did I say I'm a perfect human being?

Of course I have. What I've done has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Why are you even bringing it up?

Probably a front to make people think there isn't yet a cure.

This is all assuming there IS a cure, you know. That guy might have never even existed. You're roaming from the topic.

Ok, well, lets put it this way: How many times have you been treated for strep? If you haven't, I'm sure there are people here who have been give Amoxicillyin (sp?) or some other antibiotic to fight strep many times, me being one of them. Now, I'm not positive about this, but I've heard that strep was at one time a fatal disease. What makes modern medicine different than what this guy is doing? Modern medicine has elongated many people's lives. Is that wrong?

Lets take this from a different perspective, and go back to my automobile-ozone example from before. Eventually, if the ozone layer is completely wiped out, it will either kill us all, or we'll have to adapt. Now, are you willing to give up modern transportation altogether? It's the same idea.

Nature has many ways of balancing itself out. Cancer is one of them. Throughout history, animals, including humans, have constantly found ways to overcome nature's threats to them. They've constantly adapted to nature using whatever particular gifts they have gotten. In the case of humans, we've been gifted with a brain. We use that gift to overcome nature's threats. Not allowing us to use that seems insane. Like I said, nature would probably find something else. Think about how much more virulent diseases have gotten since the introduction of penicillin.

So exactly who decides when she is supposed to die. If you're a believer in fate, then you must also believe that if she is cured of the disease then she was, in fact, not supposed to die at that time. We're not making people immortal, just giving them another chance. I see nothing wrong with that.

And vice-versa.

I am just pointing out that you are "fighting nature", and you claimed that "its a good way to get your ass owned"... which I kind of disagree with... but if what you said holds water... than you are being a masocist... while the rest of us who think different.... we are all just victims.

In my second post I was just pointing out that if we cured cancer... way back then... it would have benefited us probably.

I cannot believes it...

. . . is not butter?

Not to worry either way, the future is gene therapy...the diseases are removed from their genes and if the person breeds, they'll likely not produce kids with it too.

All cancer is, is a problem with yourself. You can overcome it with 'high hopes'.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

I would be a little skeptical.

That's all good, but I need a little more than a few random websites to completely convince me. The fact that all of the doctors I have talked to haven't even heard his name is what brings up most of my skepticism. If you could find me something from the NYTimes, LATime, or something that I know I could trust, my skepticism would die down a bit. Still, there's always media hype.

I'm still a bit skeptical, as these things are usually just conspiracies and nothing else, but I'll definitely take a good look into this. Thanks for the info.
