I agree, the guy was a genius and he should be known, but if he were known then everyone would know there is a cure for cancer and it would cause far more problems than are needed.

So let's say everyone was allowed to live. What if we DON'T find a way to populate the moon or mars? What if we don't find limitless resources for electricity, food, water, clothes? What if we don't have people like Hitler to attempt to wipe out entire groups of people? What do we do when people desperatly need food and water and clothes so they start stealing it, rioting, etc? How do we keep these large groups of diverse people from going to war over much-needed land?

Believe me, cancer IS nature's way of balancing itself out.

It's not selfish to say that people need to die to keep from overpopulating the earth. Death is a fact of life. My mother also had cancer. If I knew she was going to die and there was a cure for cancer I would be pissed; however, that doesn't make it right. If she is suppose to die then it is best for her to die, it may not be what I want but it is what is needed and if it's going to happen it's going to happen one way or another.

So true is your statement that from everything good comes something bad. It is impossible to have all good. Like I said, with the good of those many people not dying, comes much bad.
