Cancer is cured....now what?

[Elsarild]

As far as I know, we still got SARS hep A & B and AIDS floating around with no cure for any of them, only treatment of symptoms.

That and around a couple of hundred thousand strands of viral dieseases that we can't seem to combat effectively.

I WOULD WATCH THE WORLD BURN.
Slowly.
Over a couple of generations.

Actually, I'd put all of my money towards biomechanical engineering. I want to be a robot one day. That should would be so cash.

Well, I'm gonna thaw out the Duke, and he's gonna be pretty pissed off.

Troll version: I would ninja-infect the internet and the streets with this cure all while posing as a Nigerian Prince who wants his 16 million dollars, if you so much as act kind to me or reply with hate e-mails I will send you the cure, straight up no shipping/handling or price.

Good Guy Greg version: Ninja the cure to a local hospital where it is then proven and give the nicest doctor the credit for it if he swears in all legalness to make the cure cheap.

I suppose I'd wait 15 years for full implementation and then pick up my Nobel prize in medicine. It would, of course, be worth a fortune and I'm sure I'd get top dollar from a pharmaceutical company.

Dare I say it I don't think that is going to happen for a long time. There was a man who supposidly found a cure for cancer. A one Dr Stanislaw Burzynski using a Antineoplastons theropy that in essence just makes the body kill off its own cancer it is none toxic and sounds pritty good look it up if you want.

The Drugs administration did not like him and tried to sue him multaple times for bad practices that he did not do.

But the meat of the matter if there is a cure for cancer the drug making people would loose sooo much revinue from cancer charities they do not want a cure. Simply put.

But ye is a or the cure becomes the norm I guess a lot of people will be releaved, and a lot of researches will be able to be moved to other cures.

I have finally cured cancer! Now back to Minecraft!

 

[Little Duck]

Excessive population is the biggest cancer of the human age. We can't cure it. We can't slow it. We will have a famine and die from it. Welcome to environmental science.

 

[BabyRaptor]

Probably a metric Fuck-ton of drama, because if I discovered the cure for cancer, I'd do everything in my power to keep it from becoming a money spinner for some company. I'd want it as cheap as possible so the biggest number of people who needed it could access it.

And we all know how well that would go over, at least here in America.

Edit: Dear Captcha, what is an iGrower?

Now that cancer ain´t got nothing on me, I got all the time in the world to discover a cure for death. After that, suicide caused by boredom.

 

[i love headcrabs]

after a cure for cancer I would try to make working robotic limbs ,eyes for blindness and something for hearing loss. maybe skip all that and work nanotechnology

 

[EternalFacepalm]

I'd patent it, charge rich people shitloads for it so that I don't have to work anymore, then make it free.
Everybody wins!

You are suggesting that we would just hand it over. YOu don't do that, you find a way to reduce the strength of it. If you sell the cure, then fine people don't have cancer anymore. BUt if you sell a weakened version, they will keep having to come back to buy more.

 

[imnot]

Hey AIDS! Prepare for a metophorical roudhouse kick to the dick!

 

[Mordreich]

I would destroy any proof that a cure had ever been discovered and save one dose only for myself. After all, what have cancer patients ever done for me?

 

[Tsun Tzu]

Now? We dance. *cue maracas*


But seriously, it's been covered already. AIDS and its ilk. Also, every other life threatening disease/virus/genetic abnormality.

 

[GeorgW]

All that money for Cancer research would finally go to something useful, like starvation and inhumane living conditions in large parts of the world.
Though, in reality, I just know all that money would be lost. And all those campaigns would go to AIDS instead.

 

[Crazy]

STD's your time to end is nigh! You have been a worthy adversary, but now you have my full attention!

 

[Pinkamena]

Watch as big corporations take control of the cure and sells it for crazy profit, while I, the discoverer of the cure is left without a dime.

The cure doesn't make you immune to cancer, just cures the cancer you have. If someone gets multiple cancers, which will be more likely now that they are not dying from thier first cancer, then they will come back to you for more. Right?
