- blazespin 11y agocancer is like the halting problem. there is no way to tell 100% if a program is going to halt or not. telomeres may be a way to help reduce cancer.
- rsync 11y ago"I think that before we have immortality, we need to understand and cure cancer." I'd be happy with toenail fungus. Or mild eczema. Or, really, any medical condition whatsoever. You realize people are still arguing over why your joints make a "pop" sound when you crack them, right ? Like, they've sort of settled on the air bubbles rapidly escaping the joint, but ... there's still a debate.
- kpil 11y agoYes, but you will die of cancer. If we somehow can stop aging, people will die of cancer anyway. I think we also need to figure out how to stop noses and ears from growing.
