I've allways said that cancer only has 2 possible cures.
The one that can be applied right now is to stop those with recent history of cancer in their families from procreating.
The second, more sci-fi aproach is nanomachines capable of detecting and destroying cancer growths.
As for immortality. The Nanomachines could probably take care of that anyways.
The singularity is about to explode! Weapons are at maximum.
My professor in my varsity days is still working on a ultra-sound device that focuses on cancer cells below the skin by extending the focal point to the exact area and then toasting them. They're still trying to get the right resonant frequencies sorted along with effects of how the body deals with toasted cancer cells.Originally Posted by Raven Gold
Ummm ... no. While people who have a history of cancer in their family may be more susceptible to certain types of cancer, you can't regard cancer as a simple genetic anomaly that gets passed along generationally. First person in my family who had cancer was my mom. No-one before that - so your argument falls nicely flat.
And then, how would you apply it right now. They can't even stop people who are HIV+ from sleeping around. Trying to track future cancer-possibilities would be like trying to track a single hydrogen molecule in the damn sun.
Try thinking before speaking.
Going by his logic, we don't have to wear sunblock to avoid skin cancer. *g*
Going by his logic, I'd have to wear a lead-suit the moment I stepped outside. And avoid cellphones. And microwaves. And PCs.
God, I'm screwed. May as well just jump off the office balcony now. Although I might die of cancer before hitting the ground.
